Matthew_Gibson Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Looks kinda good. But does it have a spring in there somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) Well I can't help it if this forum is too snobby to let people new to trials get stuck in - I've been on it a few days and I haven't got anywhere with finding a second hand fork. Anyone know any other trials forums which I don't need to be 'approved' for?Looks like it would work on MOD too... Solving the clattering noise when freewheeling but because it's spring loaded it would allow the chain to sag when twatting le bash.

Tomm Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Whoa those are well old-school. I remember seeing them, in around 1998. The were kind of like a posh man's DCD. I imagine they're pretty wank, but I'd like to know, because I've always thought mounting something there would be ideal for a tensioner.

gianttrials Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 how much? wouldn't it just be easier to fit a 74kingz tensioner which stays more out of the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenhopper Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Old school! Couldn't bring myself to put it on my bikey though. I've always thought they were an abomination! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Neal Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't think the old skool ones had a spring, and where designed to work with mech like the dcd or ging ones They must be sprung otherwise the chain would have to be above the roller to keep the chain tensioned. Unless it's fixed but it doesn't look adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota200x Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 They are sprung. My friend used one for a long time. He had to modify the clamp by using a piece of alum and 2 U bolts. Not hard at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
