Title: rl20 pstyler forks ???
Post by: dannyboy on July 02, 2007, 08:00 PM: i have a set of proline forks that came with my rl20 and i have a set of rl20 forks with the standoffs in so a later pair the rl forks are a lot chunkyer than pl is this correct
ie the bits the wheels fit into are about twice as thick material about 2-3 mm and pl ones about a mill or so ???(http://[/im[img]http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/c86/dannyboyz4200/holsandallot082.jpg)g]

Ask Ron Burgandy, he is pretty clued up :daumenhoch:

Post by: ron burgundy on July 04, 2007, 05:52 PM: 84 = no peg holes and really straight forks ( looks like it has run into a wall) can't tell with yours, the bars are turned... have a look at the one in the Museum :daumenhoch:

Peg holes from 85, I think...

I'm no expert on the RL range, but that should give an idea...
