S&M Picthfork: really all that
- Thread starter Blockhead
- Start date
Most forks from Fit, S&M, Eastern, Sunday, etc are all of the same quality. Try out the Pitchfork light if you want to shed a little weight.
I've got a brown one from when I took apart my bmx bike I'd sell for 35 bucks. its a couple years old, none of the new graphics, but still a strong fork.
I've heard good things about the pitchfork xlts. that's what I was going to get when I was building my 20. I got a fit blade lite instead b/c the pf's were a couples weeks delayed. I'm REALLY diggin' the blade.
wow...when I was riding full time no one cared about weight...now it seems BMX'ers have turned into MTB weigh weenies
I think my street bike is easily 35-36lbs...but I'm still running all the "old school" parts...lol....D
In my 'hay-day' of bmxing, my bike weight was 41 pounds. At the time, I weight 135 pounds. I more then welcome light weight parts. I run a full set up, with four pegs and front brakes. I don't know what my bike weighs but it's a lot nicer to ride then that 40 plus tank I use to ride.wow...when I was riding full time no one cared about weight...now it seems BMX'ers have turned into MTB weigh weenies
Todays bikes are SO much better then they were back then.
^^^I have to agree with pnj. another thing is there is a LOT of stuff to chose from out there. almost seems more than mtb. of course there's not hurdles like linkage and suspension designs to deal with either. bmx bikes seem like they are near the end of their evolution...
