The crash I had might have bent a set of motorbike forks, going to fast for the conditions. I am honest enough to say it was my fault and have listened to the arguments for and against specific forks, but I dont think there is a winner. But what do I know lol. ?
Ha ha yes tell me it's ok to save about £400 odd quid on a pair of 36 non e-bike specific forks. The pair I twisted were specific forks, but damaged due to my crash and stupidity at the end of a ride . I have seen the damage on post #65 as well, but there must be a case for using non specific...
Wow that was thorough, Cheers guys for all the feedback. I am still looking for forks, not sure what to get yet but after looking around only fox make specific ebike forks. If I can save a couple of hundred quid buying non ebike good forks I think I will. Thanks all.
I am looking to replace the twisted forks on my Trek powerfly fs9, is there much difference between ebike optimized fox 36 forks and a set that isnt ebike opt ? Also has anyone just replaced bent lowers ?
I have a 17.5 LT9fs 2018 I find the reach on it a little cramped so playing about with the cockpit. I am 5' 8 ish, So I wouldn't think 17.5 is for you. The frame geometry can be downloaded online.
Just had same probs with 4th & 5th gear using sram ex1, Bike is 3 weeks old and done 150 miles around the mountain. Really bad creaking sound when climbing using 4th & 5th gear. Removed the cassette which was not torqued up enough, cleaned, greased and put back. It sounds like a swiss watch now...
