LIGHTEN UP YOUR BIKE-PT2
WE WENT OVER SOME OF THE BETTER FRAMES THAT ARE LIGHT AND ARE GOOD IN THAT THEY WONT CRACK,FLEX OR BREAK. OK NEXT WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THE TOP FORKS THAT ARE AGAIN LIGHT AND ARE GOOD AND SOME OF THESE FORKS HAVE DIFFERENT PITCHES WHICH IS THE ANGLE OF THE FORKS AND LIKE THE KORE IS ALMOST STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN AND THE GT SHOW HAS ALOT MORE PITCH, IT REALLY DEPENDS WHAT PITCH YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AND ACTUALLY WHAT FRAME YOUR USING AS THE HEADANGLE OF ONE FRAME MIGHT BE A BIT MORE STEEP SO YOU MIGHT WANT A MORE MELLOW FORK BUT AGAIN SOME LIKE A STEEP/STEEP ATTITUDDE FOR THEIR FRAME AND FORK AND ITS ALL PERSONAL PREFERENCE.OK SOME OF THE GOOD LIGHT FORKS OUT THERE ARE THE ARES FORKS,ODYSSEY PRO FLATLAND FORKS,GT SHOW FORKS AND KORE FORKS.
OK LIKE I SAID THE GT FORKS HAVE THE BIGGEST RAKE FOR GOOD LIGHT FORKS AND THE KORE FORKS ARE ALMOST STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN WITH NO RAKE TO THEM AND IN BETWEEN THOSE ARE THE ODYSSEY PRO FORKS WHICH MANY HAVE AS THEIR PREFERENCE AND IS OF MANY RIDERS AND THERE IS THE ARES FORKS WHICH SOME SAY HAVE THE WEAKEST OF THE DROPOUTS AND AT THE SAME TIME IS THE LIGHTEST OF ALL THE FORKS. CHOOSING WHICH FORK IS FOR YOU DEPENDS WHAT KIND OF RAKE YOU WANT TO HAVE IN THE FRONT END,HOW LIGHT YOU WANT YOUR FRONT END AND WHAT FORK YOU THINK WILL HOLD UP FOR YOU AND THEY ARE ALL GOOD STURDY FORKS BUT SOME MIGHT NOT BE JUST RIGHT SO THINK ABOUT THE FORKS YOU WANT. TIL NEXT TIME FOR PART 3 OF LIGHTEN UP YOUR BIKE ILL SEE YA LATER AND GO RIDE YOUR DAMN BIKE NOW.
