manuel Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Viz forks are about the longest you can get . . . . . just check out mannings bike (im sure there is piccys somewhere...also the pace forks are ace on a curtis . . . (well on my old one i loved em) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 "Pace expert" trials forks are pretty damn long, at something like 435mm, I loved mine-light enough (1100gish) and very stiff, until I noticed (quite by chance) a crack beginning to appear around the brake mounts, but I guess I pull pretty hard on my brakes, and I managed to claim on warranty anyway. Other than that, if you want to go even longer, a bit heavier, but perhaps stronger, could check out the clubroost rigid forks, I think they weigh around 1200g and are 440mm long.Or what about kniefens? Havent heard anything about those in ages.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Viz forks are about the longest you can get yea my friend had some there curved as well so it makes them slightly longer?or just your front wheel further forward! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 dont ruin a nice frame with wank forks.i think you misread that nick, he said it was a curtis as for long forks, charge now produce decent long forks that are light, identity also have produced some new park forks, but i dont think they have disc mountsthe new trailblades are qr20 only too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
