Interesting fork design. Shame it costs so much

Know where you can find cheap MTB forks with triple clamps. They look awesome!

I'll post up a site later on where I got my forks from. If you'r into wheelies, be-careful of going for the longer travel triple clamp forks. As cool as they look, wheelies will be MUCH harder and technical to do and it almost makes some wheelie tricks impossible.

Meh! Suspension on bicycles is a waste of money! I can wheelie up my driveway on my Butte Giant like a motherfucker. :bleh:

Moun Tain Bike. Pah. Why ride something that hasn't even got a proper acronym? Sad, really sad. Probably what happens when one has a Giant Iguana up one's arse...

I can guarantee that no one on this site owns a Motor Torpedo Boat, so why go making pointless posts? Hmmm?

Any jokes about anyone having one down their pants will be promptly met with a sigh, and a shake of the head

Thats just a leading link,the design has been around in double sided for ages,I can remember a mates bike in Chch 20+ years ago with it and it's been used by a few motorcycle manufactuers,one of the sidecars down here has a single sided version like that

[speedpro]

It doesn't look like it would be too hard to apply the principle to everyday upside-downys. Make the links and mount the calipers on the bottom arm. The reverse offset would trick a few initially.

Yes, but modding one may result in an untimely ejection from the workplace.

Yeah, I read that, where from I forgot :confused:
It was just this one in particular that was interesting

And as for the acronym MTB, who gives a rat's arse whether it’s bloody correct or not. It's just like MX, cross isn't spelt with an X is it? Just the way it bloody is, not my fault

That would be "rat's" arse.

looks can be decieving read a rather indepth report by some guy , will find later and repost a name, about the nature of anti dive forks etc and the measures that people have gone through to attain a neutral braking, rather than diving.

In fact he goes on to say that you can design it to even lift when applying the brakes, but many people got unnerved by that feeling. It all has to do with lengths and geometries and number of linkages and where you place "Virtual" pivots!!!

Just the front brake would do, the 8 inch rotor, with 4 pot hydrualic caliper, maybe the carbon fibre swingarm too, i got to start riding it more so i can lose some weight :confused: .
And train to break the 3km mark (thats 3km doing a wheelie, shit i ain't that unfit people) still 400m short of that.

Actually what my post said was, if you want to have the longer travel shocks it'll be harder to wheelie! If you have no suspension at all, ofcourse it is easier to wheelie it.

You'll want good forks and rear shock as well, once you start pulling big airs and start doing crazy drops off cliffs...

[Waylander]

Looks like a bicycle version of a springer. When are you peaple gonna learn, when you make a bicycle look like a motorbike it's just plain ridiculas!! Looks silly and adds heaps of wieght that you then have to push up hill on your own power. I'll stick with an engine thank you.
