Finally going to make the leap

[Tom Kimsey]

Okay, so im starting to ride harder and harder and with that im starting to take out parts. I've decided im going to go with a one-piece bar, probably inward and i don't know if i should get more. A fork would be nice but then im going to have to get a headset and a compression system so that is going to be over $100 for that. Do you guys think its worth it to get a fork in addition to bars. Suggestions on setups would be nice too.

What exactly are you breaking that you need new parts?

 

[dezbert]

You don't HAVE to have threadless forks w/ compression. Just get inwards. Threaded.

 

[byreen]

whatever you break the most, thats what you need. Example, i broke so many stock forks, so the first thing i got when i decided to go to aftermarket parts was a fork.

 

[JonMeadows]

Inwards are GREAT for a first set of bars and while your at it buy a THREADED fork with
.120 wall thickness. It might be more expensive but by the time you buy compression and
a new headset you will be saving money. Maybe invest into some wheels??

BTW, the real question is what are you breaking?

 

[Tom Kimsey]

im breaking bars, wheels, and im pretty sure the fork is bent a little.

Are there disadvantages to a threaded inward fork?

 

[Stevenson]

Not that I've heard.

 

[Tom Kimsey]

yeah, i think im just going to get bars for now. I ordered a new pro last night and if i break that fork ill just switch it out for the one i have now. $100 is a lot of money for a fork.

 

[mcdonald93]

not the extreme fork man the zero offset fork is cheaper

 

[Tom Kimsey]

i don't think i would like the feel of zero offset

[Dustin DeSimone]

if you dont mind the extra weight then yea its worth it. I rode inward forks but they rubbed a lot for me so i went back to stock. so even though i never rode them i would suggest french id forks because of how light and strong they are. and for a headset prob like some fsa.

[Taylor Feist]

[JamieBowe]

I'm using threaded with a threadless headset.. Feels so nice...

 

[dgib]

get rad bars with the HIC and thats a compression system included with handlebars u cant beat that, and then u could get a nice threadless fork like french id and ud would b set with a strong light setup.
