Trials Forks For Street / Park

[theone2be]

Ive had an idea. I was going to buy some rigid forks for my Dr Jeckyll park set-up (not trials), and thought about some trials forks because i know there strong but does any one think they wont be any good for the Jeckyll. They may take some hard hits but nothing serious. If people think this is a good idea what forks do you recommend and why, and please nothing expensive (like over £80, because i can get some normal forks for that price, just wondered if they would be better.)

thanks

itll f**k you geometry up having too short a fork

go for a dmr trailblade fork, or 1 of the new identiti/charge/new generation trailblades with qr20 axles

all will be designed to be as long as a 100mm fork with some sag (so a bit like an 80mm)

otherwise go for proper sus forks that are stiffened-foxes are pretty nice, and anything but the dj series from marzocchi will be pretty nice :)

i really liked having my old pyslo sls on my jekyll set at 90mm-it suited it fine :S

Whatever fork you go for, go for steel fork, i also do street and have broken a few pairs of aluminium ones. A steel rigid fork is also going to be stronger than a suspension fork and quite a bit lighter.
