RAD prototype forks

[ryankeong]

i like the design of your forks im goign to make myself a threaded pair

 

[kyle199]

they look ok ay i wouldent run them thow

 

[Roycee]

Coryy those forks look so freshh man propss

 

[Hep Greg]

Cory i dont get what you mean about a 1 piece forktube... pro forks have one piece forktubes, and so do inward forks, and also french ID forks... why is it such a big deal that this fork also has a 1 piece forktube..?

 

[ryankeong]

he means where the crown race sits onto is all one piece of the forktube not welded or added on like on stock forks the whole forkpole is one machined piece

 

[Hep Greg]

so are french ID forks.

 

[ryankeong]

i cant see were he claims they arent or that his forks are the first to be??

 

[Hep Greg]

never said that, im just questioning why he keeps bringing up the point that its one piece when the only forktube that isn't one piece are the SR forks.

 

[Steezeman]

Prolly cause that was a big problem with SR forks, being as that's where they broke (the V2's at least).

 

[alexiorio]

Inwards aren't one-piece either. The part the race goes on slides on it.

I just keep bringing it up cause people keep asking.

I'm mainly trying to teach some of these mechanically inclined noobs about some of the different technologies available so they can make a smart decision when buying parts.

Also I am 85% sure that the forks will have thinner walled legs when they are released. and possibly a different style steertube that will clean everything up a bit. (weve been testing slightly different versions even though they all look the same from the outside.)
The corners on front WILL be ground down. I still dont think these need gussets behind the legs. If we do add them they will be minimal. These forks are already solid though so i dont know about gussets. They just arent necessary.

Damn these look fuckin sick, Integrated Starnut is a sweet idea

Not my idea, and not anything new either. Just new for skooties

 

[demo]

[anticee23]

can you make threaded forks or are you going to make special ordeers cuz i dont want to change my headset and get compression im running low on money

 

[demo]

get compression. best thing you will ever do to your scoot.

 

[coryM]

Yeah for realll. Time to upgrade your headset BEFORE you get a fork brahhh.
