YAJIB Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have tried lots of different forks and their either to heavy or to long i dont no which ones to get? I struggle to get the front end up because of this will a longer stem help as well as some suited forks? please tell me what u think is a good set of forks light and not to long and is it worth getttin a longer stem to help me pull up better thanks!!

Dan-Walker Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 have you thought about the echo pure forks. these forks are quite long being 420mm in height i think, which will give a higher front end, this would make lifting the front end up of the bike easier. They are light, i think they are around 800 grams. dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_to_trials Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 You could do some weigth to get more muscle to pull up with. That all was helps.sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDeathMonkey Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 If you're struggling to pull the front end up the forks won't have that much of a difference, it's not as if you're using lead forks or anything, it is more to do with the wheelbase of your frame and also length of chainstays, the shorter of both the better as you are closer to the axle which is the pivot point. A shorter stem would affect how it feels to pull up, i.e a shorter stem would pull up faster then a longer stem. As for forks i would reccomend either the onza smart guys or echo urbans, they are probably the forks of choice for most stock riders, available in both 4-bolt/vee and disc combination yet are also light and strong with fairly short legs aswell.

Simpson Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 not being funny but not much use keep throwing money at stuff, why not ride more build up the muscles needed and keep doing it! if not could be the geometry of your frame increased BB rise whatever i say just go out and ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
