jay119 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi guys,I'm looking to get rid of my marrazochis and get some rigids again, however in the past I've bent two pairs and snapped one, as well as bending two pairs of suspension forks, so I'm pretty hard on them. Therefore I want to get a really strong pair thats going to last me at least half an hour. Any recommendations?Also, does anyone know what forks Ryan Leech runs?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeDotStuffAtOnzaDotCom Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Onza Fall Guy forks.A bit shameless, I know, but I dare you to try and break some just by riding them.I don't dare anybody to break some with powertools, etc. as I should think that's relatively easy...

MrSuave Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 The DMR jump ones are HEAFTY! massive gusset at the top, uber duber super pooper strong, although they do weigh slightly more than asia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) And planet x also make some strong as feck/ heavy as feck forks...Mr Leech runs some marzocchi ones with the travel reduced, i think they are special leech only ones.

Davey Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've had my Cannondale Fatty's for about 5 years now and they are still going strong, and Mr Ashton swears by them so much that when he set up his own bike company and started making bikes he pretty much just re-branded a pair of Fatty's and they now appear on Ashton Bikes as standard!Couldn't say they're the strongest, probably someone out there who has totalled a pair, but that probably goes for most things. They're a good strength/weight compromise...... and lets face it they look the muts nuts too!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nugent Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Planet-X knifen's? They are steel (i think) so fairly heavy but they are very strong. Seeijng as we are on the subject, I have a pair of these. PM me if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay119 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Thanks for the advice. Weight isn't really a problem, as whatever they are they're going to be lighter than my Dirt jam's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 knifen superlights, strong as and not as heavy as the normal Knifen's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 knifen superlights, strong as and not as heavy as the normal Knifen'si doubt that is possible no offencezoo forks are mint. i love mine and they are strong. but disc only incase thats a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 oh i didn't mean they were as strong as the normal knifen. I kinda worded wrong. Meant to say they will be strong enough and on top of that they weigh less than the normal kinfen....if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 The DMR jump ones are HEAFTY! massive gusset at the top, uber duber super pooper strong, although they do weigh slightly more than asia Nope they snap.Try V!z forks, the curved ones with the holes near the drop-outs. Uber stiff, with a fat cromoly steerer tube. www.trials-uk.co.ukZoo! forks? Disk only as fatty Ben said. But the steerer tube isn't the best.

justfuzzit Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yeah, the DMR trailblade II with the 20 mm through axle is your best bet for strength. I think the axle to crown is around 420mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Club Roost forks?I been running them for like 3-3 1/2 years and still no sign of bendage/crackage ect!(Sorry for the advertisement, either that or a pic of my heap, LoL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loffa Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Is it me or is the fork in the picture snapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Nope they snap.Try V!z forks, the curved ones with the holes near the drop-outs. Uber stiff, with a fat cromoly steerer tube. www.trials-uk.co.ukZoo! forks? Disk only as fatty Ben said. But the steerer tube isn't the best.if you look at viz i would get the three peice jobbies - boon or me aint broke any yet and they are the same shape as echo urbans = perfect (echo urbans i have broken...)the curved ones are two miles long so alot of leverage to give em a twang and a snap... (and also are made of less metal...)the zoo urbans do seem pretty good to me - but i aint had any for long enough to judge yet .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
