FRID fork

[Jacob D.]

i know there has been a thread on this but it doesnt answer all my questions. FRID or new inward zero offset fork? I'm looking for a light fork and I'm not sure which one to get. I've heard FRID is so light that weight distribution isnt good, and all my friends say they don't like zero offset...but one of them has to be better? (im a noob in scootering but i just broke my pro fork and im looking for a good fork for a beginner/novice)

Get an Inward 0 Offset threaded fork. (.120)

Lol at weight distribution not being good. It's a scooter, not a 30lb bike.

 

[Jacob D.]

I hate threaded. period. cmon guys answer my question

 

[Michael Rankin]

get a striker. its light and strong. and its pretty cheap

 

[Jacob D.]

strikers? light? how light?

 

[Michael Rankin]

for a chromoly fork, the Proto Striker is pretty damn light. I dont know the actual weight, but I love my cousin's. trust me, its a great fork. you wouldnt regret riding one

 

[Jacob D.]

hmmmm...I'm a novice so im really keen on getting light parts...my friend has one, but his setup is so heavy I can't tell the diff between a striker and his old inward

 

[Michael Rankin]

You'll like it, I guarantee it. it is just a tad bit heavier than a stock, but a shitload stronger. and it looks sexy as hell

 

[Kay Are]

strikers are lighter than inwards

plus they have lifetime warrenty

weight distribution is important IMO

Some forks are heavier by as little as .6-7 oz's. Which is noticeable if you're a rider who prefers a light front end. Just because it doesn't weigh as much as a bike, doesn't mean you wouldn't feel the difference. If anything, it being so much smaller/lighter. Those slight changes are amplified just as much as a few lbs on a bike.
It's like the difference between bolting your B/Pro Model folding with stock rear B/Pro/Ultra Pro axles, and using real thick grade 5 or 8 bolts drilling out your folding system. HUGE difference in how much your scooter evens out when doing certain tricks.



As for the question. I'd say get an Inward fork. FrID seperate from the threads way too easily since they are bonded with only epoxy. Considering threads are steel and fork arms are aluminum.

The french id fork is the lightest fork out there, its lighter than stock.
The person who said about french id forks messing up weight diostribution is from the inward team, its a load of crap.

You don't know what you're talking about. AT ALL. Lucky L&S fork is 7 ounces, French ID fork is 11 ounces. Tons of forks now are lighter than stock.

 

[Jamie N]

well i heard it was the lightest, anyway its one of the the lightest out there then.

 

[Jared Cee]

how much is the v2 frid fork gonna weigh

 

[Jamie N]

its already out, and probably not much more at all as the only difference is that the steerer tube wall is about 1 mm thicker

 

[Jared Cee]

i thought it was 1 piece cncd.
where can i get it

 

[Cody Appelhans]

French id

I guess I never get enough air to care about weight distribution because I didn't notice a difference from my folding mech or my french id's. I ride street and occasional park so like I said, I don't go as big as alot of people so the weight difference would be less noticable to me as I'm in the air for less time.
