Fork of choice?

[Mark_351]

Hey all,
Just got back into tialsin after a 2 year absence. Just bought a .243 racing frame and am lookin to build it up to the ultimate trialer ever! Need some suggestions on good rigid forks for the beast. Anyone know of some good ones that are about?

PX Knifen. Don't expect the 243 to be a good trialsin bike. (probably 420mm length)

.243........ultimate trialer :ugh:

I would go with a px superlight 420mm with that frame

[Mark_351]

I prefer bikes that are a little bit heavier and the more the slope the better! Thats why i chose this frame and from what i hear is almost indestructible. Whatever works best i guess.

there are lots of frames that are more sloped than that one, also that will ride 100% better. 2 years ago is the new old skool.

One One makes a titanium version of the Knifen. Its superlite, it wont ever break, I love it! Bit $$$$$$ though:(

Sounds absolutely worthless. Ti will break btw, I've seen it happen in forks :noes:

titanium is a horrible metal for anything trials related.. unless were talking about valvestem caps

ti-it will crack at the weld which holds the crown onto the legs. Good luck with it though.

Alum forks are disposable. Echo/zoo has a couple of different models corresponding to different stiffnesses. I run their stiffest fork, the echo urban. It's a bit under 900g I think.

It will break. It will die. I can live with this. It was cheap. I will buy one again. I may paint the next one a different colour.

if you look at it that way, everything is disposable... someone needs to come out wit ha strong, light, decent looking fork.

I don't think the px light is ugly. I think it's lovely, I will put mine back on when my echo breaks perchance. fuck weight
