Forks have been fine - was maybe expecting them to take a bit more sting out of the trail, though not sure how much of that is down to running skinny tyres.

Decals are unfortunately under the clearcoat. No browny sheen that I can see. They're actually not all that light either, I think they're over 800g, so it's not just the rider that's been on the pies.

Should probably have went with another sus fork tbh.

Thanks jim, keep having to remind myself it's just a old bike and get over it, but TBH I'm in no rush to ride it (first time for me).

So anyone else fancy drum then? U

What forks are these ZZ? - 800g sounds reasonably light and very light if it is a sus fork.

TBH the last forks I rode that were rigid and took the sting out of the ride were my steel 88 Specialized direct drive forks - I put it down to the large curved rake.

Velo when things get better these are the 3 wheelers you should be going for :

Hi TK nah they're not sus, I meant I should have put another sus fork on after killing my T2s.

These are the carbon rigid forks that you see on ebay - marked 'exotic' - 80-odd quid a pop. Funny you mention the DirectDrive forks, I'd have probably been just as well served by putting the originals back on :roll:
