under the stairs find !!

[godders]

I was cleaning the cupboard under the the stairs and found these
thought that they were lost forever made my day

 

[David Gibson]

Nice find! And they're in mint condition too.

 

[godders]

Now reunited with the frame .........in not so good condition and the bombers that came fitted when we bought it fo our son .

A familiar tube of autosol sitting there.
Excellent forks,i had a set of them arrive with my '99 clockwork.they ended up on my run-about-bike.

Is that twin mounts on the marzocchi :?

 

[godders]

yep twin mounts....for running twin discs ... maby :shock: they are also in need of some tlc i will eventualy
get round to sorting that frame out !! could be a bit of a problem getting
a match for the paint though !

 

[merckx]

is there any real benefit of running brakes on the back side of forks? it seems to be mainly a uk thing, pace etc. first time i have seen rigid forks doing it mind.. yeah i had a pair of Z1 BITD, i also could never quite work out why the big M cast disc mounts on both legs..

 

[godders]

someone did explain to me once the "advantage" of having the brakes on the back of the fork legs ....... but i cant remeber what it was :? and to be honest it cant be that good or more forks would be like it !!and yeh ive only seen one other pair .. and that was on here on another Orange

The mounts go on backwards so that when you break the forces of stopping don't push the pads out as they grip the wheel but in, To reduce flex as you break..
