Ash-Kennard Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) can people post pictures of their control forks please?mine came through yesterday, and i always thought they were raked? mine are straight blades, they have vee mounts.mine are 415mm long rather than 400mm. i know they are not urbans as the top isn't as wide as my mates, when we compared them. they definately arent hifi either as they dont have all that cnc stuff.ill put pictures on if you want me to.help me im confusedEDIT: here they are, tell me what you think they are please.

Ash-Kennard Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 i can only put pics of a full bike as the camera is out of battery. but will that count as 'showing off the new bike?'or shall i just do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 have they updated the urbans? like for 06? to make the top thinner? if so they might be them lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 They are urbans. Unless they are Zoo forks, but Zoo forks were a lot thinner than that.I hope you didn't pay more for control forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Have you tried getting in touch with the company you bought them from? Might just've been a mis-pick when they were boxing it up, in the same way I got some 10mm dropout Odyssey forks instead of 14mm, even though they'd apparently been double-checked, according to the two signatures on the box.

Ash-Kennard Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 well i've cut the steerer down now. what does everyone think is better, controls or urbans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTTY___ Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 well i've cut the steerer down now. what does everyone think is better, controls or urbans?I doubt he'll take them back now cos he cannot exactly sell them.. Unless he sells them cheaper to somebody who nows they will fit their bike.Personally ide say Control Forks as i dont like the urbans.. But i think your stuck with them now..Craig...!

Tomm Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Well if you don't want them, you can ask for a refund. I don't really see the problem though, the Urbans are more expensive, so you've basically got better forks than you asked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I would just stick with the Urbans as they are a great pair of forks no doubt about that... it's not as if you have been totally ripped off + the Urbans are dearer... SCORE! Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I ordered controls, so i just assumed that is what i had got. Sorry again ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 nah, no problem mate, i think they feel better than the controls would anyway.i like the height of them, i can even bunny hop it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
