They are indeed good things.  More importantly, their warranty is about the best around   :daumenhoch:

Now that's a far more difficult issue.....


I have no idea where you start on that one.  Pick a firm you like? or a rider?  Thats what I did.

What was you trying to do to bend them :shocked:

Look out for that one. I heard that if you bend your "dirt forks", they do indeed replace them ... but with the heavier freestyle forks, telling you that you need them cos you bent the dirt ones. A perfect loophole, because most people will go and buy a new pair of the dirtforks cos they are lighter!

disasters are always a fork killer. Are you sure you dont wanna get some stronger forks than the dirt ones?
