August 13, 200422 yr Joel Corry should have some forkskinz which is what you need probably, trial 70 I think in your neck of the woods?
August 13, 200422 yr I know but the plastic ones also look like hey you must fall off a lot! i think the plastic ones look Naf and i agree with your views on them, no offence to anyone who has them, but i hate them. havnt seen them but carbon ones sound nice
August 13, 200422 yr The jitsie carbon fibre or kevlar ones are good quality I have the kevlar ones whick just clip tightly around your fork leg. Got them from BVM motors about
August 13, 200422 yr Got the plastic ones to ride/protect bike at SSDT, did an excellent job and still on now looking slightly scuffed, but at least the forks are as good as new. Naff, only in your opinion, both do the same job i.e protect your forks Plastic ones cheap, Carbon ones OUCH !!!! The carbon ones will not make you ride the bike better Feetup Trialsport speak to Allen 01723 865 577
August 14, 200422 yr WellI 'm Welsh, not Scottish. But why pay more? As Gizza says............They both do the same job. That's why I got the plastics. Hey your opinion, & your wallett.....Get the Carbon Fibre way cheaper than paying for new forks.........honest. The next topic will be "Why use a mudguard? I like the idea, but, it looks girlie. what do you guys think"?
August 15, 200422 yr Author G'Dammit I'm going with the carbon .......I'm sure they'll make me ride better???? Anyway thanks again for the input. H

August 16, 200422 yr That's going too far, you would need some fork protector protectors to stop THEM getting scratched!
August 16, 200422 yr The other side.............I think they look the business and have been on since new. They are a snug fit.............to say the least and you need to take the wheel out to fit and gently tap them up from the bottom of forks, with a rubber mallet.........to avoid damaging them
