F-Stop Junkie Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Disclosure: I'm not affiliated with On-One in anyway, just thought some folk here might find the following useful:On-One Superlight Forks - Black or white, disc only. £60Doofers - Chain tension for a tenner.And SoYo Grips - which used to be popular back in the day. Tenner.Also got some good deals on Avid Juicy 7s if you're into that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I remember the SoYo grips, i had about 4 pairs on my old BMX, they're comfy as fcuk but i seem to remember that they don't last for too long.Mike!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Fredrico / anyone else , if you go for that tensioner , let us know how it is after a few weeks testing , please . Seems like a well made piece , from a respected manufacturer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Fredrico / anyone else , if you go for that tensioner , let us know how it is after a few weeks testing , please . Seems like a well made piece , from a respected manufacturer .It looks the same sort of design as the DMR/Surley ones, which we all know are a little, substandard... The spring design on them really is bad, and I presume these are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zordon Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 If those "superlight" forks had been actually superlight, they would have given the exact weight on their site. I hate companies claiming their products are light and not giving any proof of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate companies claiming their products are light and not giving any proof of that But they are steel, which is reassuring, and strong.

Tomm Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 They aren't particularly light (~1100g if memory serves me correctly) but they are a lot lighter than the other Planet-X/On-one Kniefen forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
