weres hurst? how much fo wees and a fork

 

[scootin24/7]

the wees are $85 including shipping and the forks are $120 including shipping so if u wanted to buy both then it would be $205 and i might be able to ship them together so it would be a little cheaper like $10 maybe and hurst is real close to dallas

 

[asianpuff16]

what size are the wees?

 

[codyferner]

21 by like 17 ?

definitely seems like forks are for profit

Is he just selling one and using the picture to show what they look like or is he actually selling all those forks? That would make a difference.

Those forks are actually a pretty cool concept but: threaded = fail.

He has claimed like 2938 times that those forks are non-profit because the machining is supposed to cost a lot. He is not selling just one, he's making them. In case you haven't noticed, he posts his Take 2 Industries link on SR multiple times every day everywhere on the forums and chatbox.

Eventually i'm gonna make a copy for my own use, bit diffirent shape, threadless, and compatible with the SR clamp and i'm pretty sure it's gonna cost me waaaaay less than his 110$ "non-profit" fork.

I'm pretty sure they're solid forks, instead of a tube, which means that even though they're threaded, they're still pretty much unbreakable. Definitely not for weight freaks though..

They are not that heavy once you figure out what they weigh when you know the density of aluminium.
But despite, since it's threaded - once you put on chromoly bars, the threads will get dents and later it will be much more difficult to get a threaded headset off.

yes, that is true, for most one pieces they will not work, but if you run bolted stocks or buffs or anything like that then I think they're a pretty good idea, and you don't have to buy an aftermarket headset to use them. Plus, there are no welds on the thing which is a pretty neat concept. Probably also weigh a decent amount more than steel forks that don't use the solid forktube design though, but not that it matters anyway.. they are still hella expensive though due to all the machining that goes into making them..

Still a no-no.

Facts:
- a new stock bar is threadless before you put it on.
- when you put a stock bar on a stock fork, the steel threads will carve in some goofy threads into the stock bar.
- since steel is strong it doesn't get dented that easy, but it is possible to f*ck up the threads even with stock bars.
- since aluminium is soft, it gets those dents in easier by those threads.

You can only bet which one will get dented first when both fork and bars are made out of aluminium, but i'm pretty positive that take2 fork's threads will get fucked waaaay faster than steel fork's threads. I might be wrong but i'm still pretty sure.

It's not about the price anymore, it's about how easy is it to use. Threadless is the future, because it is easier to maintain and install later, it doesn't make goofy threads into bars and takes less money than machining threads on. If it was a threaded fork and you wouldn't be able to get the top headset cap off, imagine yourself in that situation what would you do.

 

[dre]

fuck, ok madis you win haha. but as far as the headset cap being stuck goes, since the compression nuts are steel and the fork is aluminum, it would technically be pretty easy to re-thread it by just loosening it from off the fork, would probably take some channel locks to accomplish + some time, but probably wouldn't be that difficult.

 

[the_SD_local]

Aluminum threads will strip in no time. The strength is not the issue. Threaded forks are just a bad design and making them out of aluminum is even worse. Those forks will be pretty good soon if he makes them threadless and you use the new compression system.
