[poll] Zero Offset or Normal Offset Forks (I'm making CNCed forks)

[saltwater]

I might make some forks if i can get some material.
I need some 3mm and 8mm sheet and 35mm OD billets.
Anyone with idea's and links to get material will be appreciated!
The wheel represents a 110mm wheel.

Zero Offset:

Normal Offset:

(note that little bit on top of the front plate isn't part of the design)

im gunna make some to i think zero offset and steel

 

[James Scown]

whoever votes steel/aluminium is retarded. forks should be steel as aluminium is easier to break so the poll should just regard zero and regular offset

 

[Ryan.williams]

i cant see the difference

 

[JamieBowe]

Zero offset definately.

 

[James Scown]

i cant see the difference

cuz you're a noob thats why

 

[mattyparso7]

zero offset all the way

 

[Manzie]

Zero offset makes nose manuals/hang fives about 4 bazillion times easier. And barspins more fluid.

 

[mattyparso7]

yer it does who was inwards forks with normal offset??

 

[ryankeong]

normal and steel. But you can make forks out of alluminium look at french id s and take two's they are aluminium

 

[mattyparso7]

normal would be harder to make wouldnt it??

 

[nickbrah]

look good, cant wait to see them if they're made

 

[JamieBowe]

Zero offset is better for barspins, And no matter what way your bars are facing its going to be the exact same.

Air Craft grade (6061-T6) Aluminum would be just as tough as mild steel and with out the weight, but it would cost heaps, I'd have to order from America.

bump!

 

[murrayw]

zero offset
for sure

 

[Roycee]

normal, zero offset means no side is better for footjams
if they are threaded then dont use alluminium, the bars will rip off teh threads

 

[Billie Rainbow]

normal, zero offset means no side is better for footjams
if they are threaded then dont use alluminium, the bars will ip off teh threads

Yes you speak the truth there royce
i'd get so bored not doing footjams n stuff cuz there sooo much fun
and yeah thread+aluminium=Fail
(more than likely in mid air, and that would not be good, especially for royce) :O
