Interesting fork design. Shame it costs so much

Bruce really needs to get photos up of his MTB...

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.

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

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

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.
