Waynio Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 forks will be IS normal position normal disc size to caliper number or mount etc.price i would have guessed around the £80-100 i would have thort the idea would have been to come in competatively with the echo forks etc. (if not maybe cheaper?) im sure i will be corrected by mike, or joe at onza though.

ogre Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 sounds good, i'm still waiting for a super strong fork to come out that says, f**k you weight limit* and never dies.*obv without weighing a shocking amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 like the look of the disc mount/dropout, no more cracked disc mounts? if they do come out towards the £80 mark i'll be buying some to replace my controls.spacer kit looks good, how long until they will be out.luke, see if drei wants to come down to plymouth next weekend???? if not were dragging him to westbay/portland at some point so come along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 dont tubes take stress around their outer surface? Wouldn't taking material from the outer surface weaken the tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 dont tubes take stress around their outer surface? Wouldn't taking material from the outer surface weaken the tube?Yeah, although theres more surface area in the same circumference, so maybe that helps?Like corrugated iron is stiffer than a flat sheet of it.

David Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 This is a COMPLETE stab in the dark but maybe their bringing out a stem to fit the steerer which can be adjusted up and down to alter the riding position. Something similar to that seen on scott (I think) hybrid bikes. Or maybe not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Tensile should so make a matching stem that fits into those groves!You know, so you'd never have to allign the stem again Would be sweet - but I'd imagine that'll never happen, as if the forks wern't bang on the stem would be pointing off in a random direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Thing is, I've had it before where I've fallen off and made the stem twist around on the steerer a bit - if it hadn't, I'd probably be sans penis right now, or I'd have snapped my bars/stem/forks/spokes or something. Equally, unless the manufacturing tolerances were way up there, it'd be all too easy to get a stem and set of forks that were slightly off, with you being completely unable to do anything about it. That, plus the way you'd need to have one f**king weird shaped centre part of the stem would probably mean it'd be heavy and not really all that strong.So yeah, hopefully they won't bring out a stem like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not exactly hard to align your stem up.I'm liking the look of these forks. Hopefully they'll bring out a V version and not just use a screw in adaptor for the 4-bolt mounts, I just wouldn't trust one of them, even on the front.

Mark W Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm so sure I read that somewhere they said V-mounts on the front, 4-bolts on the back, but I can't seem to see it anywhere in this thread so I may purely be talking out of my arse.Just to save people some time, Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V:I may purely be talking out of my arse.lol not the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Because it uses up two hands instead of one, so you then have to find the mouse again whilst your looking at the screen.Unless you use your left hand on the mouse, then I could see the point.

AdamR28 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I see what you're saying Rowan... I prefer the 'CTRL + X, C, V keys' as it doesn't require taking my hand off the mouse though, saves a lot of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
