forks

[scoot4lifecrew]

what part of your fork breaks the most does it bend or what cause im workin on forks for my team

 

[idk47]

legs bend, and fork tube breaks. Make strong legs and a 3mm thick fortube.

 

[Cooper Klaar]

Legs on my forks break. So does the fork tube.

 

[scoot4lifecrew]

thanks for the help guys

 

[Steezeman]

The steer tube is the biggest problem, legs bend on me a bit every now and then but it's easy to bend 'em back.

only the legs for me. especially since i'm running 125's now, they bend when i do sliders :/

i never bend forks, i always break the threads but that doesnt happen any more. thanks to a friend giving me his threadless sr fork

I bet you're stuck with the shit New A fork then. SR's don't bend with a slider on 125s. Too bad they're back in R&D...

Also, you'll probably fail at making forks. They take months of testing and effort and you have to compete with SR's Pro Forks, which are really good...

probably the legs bending for me. although i will snap a fork tube every now and then

i went from not snapping forks for liek 4 months to snapping two pairs in 3 days wtf make really thick threaded fork poles

my forks will soon be started. they will have REALLY thick fork tube (threaded) metal. and a design that i think may be stronger the sr forks.(probably not but maybe)

I really like the idea of welding metal onto the front and back of just a normal stock fork. Cheap and effective.

really? weird, i was just out doing some long sliders down hills, and my 125 fork is fine. and i bend regular forks like crazy, but the 125 is fine.

unless you have a 125 on a stock fork, which i have no experience on.

 

[demo]

stay away from fork building, and just let sr and french id do the work

 

[jake ferraro]

The legs break off at the king race, Awkward i know but thats the only place i break my forks.

 

[godfather]

at the threaded section, and my legs bend a bit

no i'm using the new a 125 fork, and it bent once from sliders. but then again, david stole it from a little kid, so that could be half of the problem

imagine a fork with non-hollow fork tube heavy but strong as hell!!!, i never have bent the legs, i snap the tube.
