March 6, 20197 yr Hey guys! I picked up a Tiger Cub Trials recently and looking to mod the suspension to more better/modern-ish. For the front end I'm looking at baby cerianis as an option. Has anybody went this route fro a front end? Or would a set of 35 Betors be a smarter option. Thanks in advance! Jeff
March 7, 20197 yr Depends how much money you want to spend and how original you want the bike. For something over £1000 Duncan MacDonald can supply new MP forks and yolks I fitted Betors (from a Montesa) to 1 Cub and Marzocci’s to my Armac Cub. Both out perform my ability. They are also a vast improvement over the original heavyweight forks! It may take a bit of fettling to make them fit and to get the length right. Hope this helps. Edited March 7, 20197 yr by brucey
March 7, 20197 yr Duncan MacDonald supplies REH fork not MP These transform the front end I have used MP 32 mm and Marzocci's But I do not ride the bike I leave the to someone that uses it and tweak the bike to suit him

Duncan does indeed supply REH forks (which look beautiful by the way) ??.
March 8, 20197 yr They are The rider of my Cub says the action is better than his GasGAS and it showed up how bad the rear was
March 8, 20197 yr If you come across some original REH or MP's with knackered stations, it is easy to through the stations and damper rods away and replace with more modern stuff, I normally use Marzochi but other brands are available
