anythink thats made from 4130 will be good ... but heat treated will bebetter ... THEY MUST AVE A 1 1/8 steer tube tho ... and if u run a 10m,m (skinny) or 14mm (fat) axle then u will need to get the correct size dropouts ... i would say get some sundays or ody

So are 14mm what i should be lookin for as i've only got the frame,yet to get any wheels,cheers.

 :) What Mike says,Sunday or Odyssey forks.Go for the corresponding size depending on what size front axle you`ll be running.Call Stodgy at the Rad shop for sound advice and good prices. :daumenhoch:

personaly i would go for 14mm ... for the simple fact taht 14mm are stronger but if u havent got the wheels yet i would get them first then get forks ... but speak with stogy(dont think thats right :L) at rad shop !  if he has nothing you like then go to chain recation then lifer bmx or to your local bmx shop  :daumenhoch: :4_17_5:
