jackamory Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi, do any of you know what the word rigid means when being put in context with a pair of forks??? thanks jackDoes it mean no suspension, or straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_mad Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Im pretty sure that when people refer to having rigid forks it is when they are really stiff and do not have flex or give in them. Personally i feel this is a good thing as with forks that flex it feels like they will snap anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Biddle™ Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 no sus mate its better for trials if you use rigid forks helps alot mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 rigid means no suspension doesn't mean the forks won't flex a little only want sus if you have a really streety style. rigids are theoreticaly stronger to (less to die) but sus would probably be mucho good for front wheel moves.

jackamory Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 hi, it is just that i really really need some second hand 26" rigid forks with 4 bolt mounts. I was wondering what to type in to get them on ebay and websites like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 what frame + forks are you running now? 'cause the forks will affect the feel+ geometry of the bike (i'm not to sure what'll change what though)(look for echo/zoo/gu forks are all strong as fook) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
