cp101 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 since I already have a problem with my wrists and elbows ( weight lifting, guitar playing, and masturbation, atleast I'm honest ) I don't want a rigid fork. I need something with little travel, 80-100, obviously, but I dunno which fork. my price range is somewhere around 160 gbp, or about 300 USD. I need something that doesn't bottom out right away ( I'm 90 kilos ). any help'd be appreciated fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 the best forks you will ever get for the price they are superb, easily soem of the nicest forks ive ever tried, and thats comparing them to the higher costing forks ive used ryan leech uses them, isnt that more than enough reason to buy them?!

wayneone Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Slightly off topic but how do you change a fork? Do you have to mess around with the headset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to mess around with the headset? http://www.eastonbike.com/downloadable_fil...str/fork-EN.pdf It can be tricky, but, like all things, just requires patience. Which I don't have. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 undo top cap, undo stem, remove, tap top of steerer and the forks should just fall out, then remove the crown race from the bottom of the steerer next to the crown put crown race onto new forks, put new forks in (may have to have the steerer trimmed) add spacers if necessary and then put you stem back in (and also add a starnut/other headset adjusting device) tighten it all and hey presto, simple explanation for a simple job :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you yell at your mother because she turned off the lights in the garage because when they building the house they messed it up, so the garage light for whichever reason is in the main hallway of the bloody house.

chrishayton Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Right. stick with rigid. sus forks on trials bikes are crap. just no need and take out all your power and feel. if things are so bad then go see a doctor. lay off the weights(doesnt help riding that much anyway) I play guitar so i dont know what you do to mess up your arms, and as for wanking, just cut down to once a week. you will notice a difference and will feel fitter(trust me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
