Title: MRD forks whats the difference? Info added.
Post by: animal on October 16, 2007, 09:26 PM

Just wondered if there is any way to tell standard MRD forks from the Freestyle (shredder) forks? Or were they all the same? Any body got any pics of the shredder forks?

Right I spoke to ORB and he says they look identical other than the rake is slightly more to the front than the race forks. Other than that the tubing is very slightly thicker for strength drop outs r the same. Result  :daumenhoch: cos somebody on her may have been wolfy or moose sold me a set of forks last year, and when I checked them against the race forks when I got em, they were slightly more raked and couldn't work out why. :-\ Thought it was a build variation. Well chuffed now :smitten:

Twas me that you sold you them......and I did say 'BUGGER' when I knew Dan was selling the frame  >:(

Still, I'm happy to see that the forks have been married up to the correct frame  :daumenhoch:
