    I realise that may split opinion, and clearly it depends on the bike, but every time I see a bike with white forks on I always wonder they black ones weren’t fitted

    Black would usually look so much better, especially as most of the kit (apart from the frame) is usually black

    Just don’t get white forks

    [unless of course they’re really cheap at which point the case for them is much clearer]

    They do look inferior, but I have to let them fly based on my rule of “All bike bits must be black, with the exception of the frame and forks which can be any colour you like”. If you let those with no taste have white forks it will hopefully stop them having gold anodized shit everywhere.

    Oh…

    But my bike has white logo’s, pedals etc, so white forks look ‘right’.

    Basically… you’re wrong! This is whats known as ‘just the right amount of white’…..

    All the photos so far have made my point for me, thanks 😛

    (Apart from one, which is just acceptable, and black would still look better. Not saying which though…)

    (I will admit to having sinned with white forks myself in the past, because they were the cheapest ones available in that colour. In my defence, they do look far worse now a lot of them have black stanchions)

    But my frame is white. Black forks would look crap.

    Although normally I would agree with you.

    I hated my white Forks. So while the frame was away for repainting, I repainted stripped the forks and painted them satin black with 2015 Fox heritage decals

    Did someone say white forks and rims?

    Although the white cables might have been a step too far 🙂

    I wouldn’t buy white forks, they show the battle scars and scuffs all too easily.

    Op, you may as well have posted a “show me your white forked steeds of gnar” type thread.

    Best of both worlds – black forks with white bits?

    Got them to match the front hub which was a cheap mismatched wheelset from Superstar with white front and black rear.

    My entire Bike is White (Whyte 629) so it would look really Gash with Black Forks!

    when Specialized gave me a warranty frame after finding a crack, it turned up and was bright red.

    then my black Fox forks started creaking in the CSU out of warranty, and I found some white Manitous going cheap on CRC.

    they actually look much better with my red frame, than the black Fox forks did

    I think both of my bikes would look terrible with black forks;

    I don’t think I’ve owned a pair of black forks

    Quadra 21 were yellow, pair of Dukes that were dark blue, Some lurid Green Marz things, original Fox were silver, couple of Magura models that were white, then a pair of white Lyriks and now white Revs…

    Edit, and a set of Red Manitous X verts

    I think either the OP is

    1) A big racist
    2) once went black and doesn’t want to go back

    I like mine, think they look much better than black with a bright, raw frame.

    I don’t mind the white forks on my High Latitude. Black would possibly look a bit better but it’s what the bike came with and I’m not swapping them just because of the colour 🙂

    jameso – are you related to a bloke who used to ride around Leicester we dubbed ‘Accessory Man’…for obvious reasons? 😉

    White forks? Fine.

    White forks with black stanchions? Pass the eye bleach.

    Only Tracey’s stumpy pulls it off because of the black/white frame.
