Do you think it would be worth my while to save up and get better forks?, triple clamp ones, if so which forks?, don't want anything too expensive mind you.
Thanks. |
Okay, don't listen to these haughty-taughty guys with their $1500 forks :). Depending on what you're planning on using it for, the RST fork may be fine. I have an RST Gila TL on my hardtail, and it does a perfectly serviceable job for my XC riding. At the very least, you can't go wrong at 10 pounds so long as it hasn't been abused. The reviews on mtbr.com (http://www.mtbreview.com/reviews/Fro...ct_21558.shtml) are up and down. I think the point is that you just can't expect them to perform like high-end forks because they're not.
|
I know, i don't expect them to proform like high end forks, however i'm going to be doing a few jumps on them, but at 10 punds, if i mess them up or they really are crap, then oh well not too bothered. ;)
Thanks for the advice! |
Hey I wasn't knocking them. Well I sort of was. But you do get what you pay for with an rst. It is an adequate fork.
BTW all of my forks come well under 1000$ cdn :D |
Got forks today, they are fitted now, and hey look nice, and seem quite nice loving them, will take it for a test tomorrow. :)
|
We now require pics :D
|
i have duke xcs and i love them cuz i got heavier springs and travel kit upgrade. They perform twice as good as my friends manitou blacks now.
|
That was in no way related. Or was it?
|
Hahaha....not at all...thats hillarious.
|
Will get you guys some picture of the bike as a whole, and an old picture with old forks, then new forks on. :)
Pictures comming tomorrow!! |
Sweet..its a rule. Anything new require a pic.
|

|
That, for one, was related.
|

........rst single crowns are FIIIIINE....My bussy who rides urban (well) uses them as a bckup if his dj 2's are broken. Get a good hardtail......will be stronger/more reliable than that, and you will have a better time possibly
|
Bussy?....wtf....what manual is that word in? New word for a gf?
|
I love laughing at spelling mistakes.
|
I don't do DH at all on the bike, just used for going up stuff, and doing drops, jumps. :)
