chrishayton Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 i have a pair of fattys. they are in good condition but im unsure whether to use them on my trials bike ( was on my streety trials bike). Do they handle hooks and taps well? dont want to die trying to hook with them. i have urbans at the moment which seem ok but i had them a while and im getting worried they ll go soon. so if they crack ill use the fattys if they ll be able to handle the forces involved. Im quite hard on my forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
