tricks on a carbon fork?
 

how do carbon forks hold up on trick bikes? I found one for a good deal online but I don't know if it would collapse if I beat the heck out of it like I do with my steel fork.

doesnt make me feel safe... :dunno:

Well... what do you mean by tricks?

Well I'd take into account the kind of fork. Are most road or track forks suited for the impacts from wheelies and such? Would a solid mtb fork be better?

I don't know anything about tricks so I assume these kinds of questions go through your heads, right?

nothing super crazy, just stuff like barspins and bunnyhops, just screwing around in the street, but i also play bike polo on occasion. i think a carbon fork would hold up, but im just wondering what other people have experienced, as i only have experience with a carbon fork on my scandium race bike, which i definitely don't mess around on.

hmm thats a good point. im looking for something strictly 650 though because this will be for a funny bike. currently im using a raleigh rush hour for screwing around on but i got a good deal on an old tt bike

well that answers my question thanks!! i guess steel IS real! especially when you are beating your bike up.

Yeah... and doods who like to catch air put on those funny looking BMX forks! Full on goofball-land.

I had a carbon fork on my trick bike for less than a week before it split at the 'crown'. Carbon is fine for road bikes and on the track, just not for any street tricks.

just try it

omg steel is so reel you have no idea
