Tim-Hill..Yeah Mate Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 hello, At the moment i'm running monty 221ti forks and i'm starting to get very worried about them snapping, i've seen a few pictures of monty 221ti's snapped, how easy do they snap... i don't ride big, 5-6 foot drops and 5-6 foot gaps. would my forks snap soon?I heard there natural riding forks not street and i don't like to ride natural, theres no signs of them snapping no dents and they don't creek when allot of pressure is on them.is it a certain trick which gets them e.g tyre taps?cheers tim.

Guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I think it's usually the steerer that goes on them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim-Hill..Yeah Mate Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 hello,yeah thats where they snap, monty are stupid they drill 9 holes in there forks and one of them is in the steerer which I think is ridiculous. how many cases of them snapping has been on the forum, is it regular for them to snap?cheers Tim.

chrishayton Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 they should be fine if you dont do big riding. and all this talk saying natural is not as bad for your bike as street is rubbish ( not just this topic)natural riding puts far more stress on your forks than street. and most other parts of your bike. wedging between two rocks or over a rock flexs your forks alot. as does hooking over a rock and lifting to back wheel. unless your a big tgs basher like tunny of damon then street really isnt that harsh on things like forks and frames when compaired to natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
