Sorry for the title, toy story was on my mind.
Ok so here is ma question...
Do you think that [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=49691 ]rigid forks[/url], these ones in particular[img]

are suitable for dirt jumping... Obviously front sus would be nice but I don't have £300 to spare at the moment.
They are made by DMR for dirt jumping, but could it cause a long list of problems...
For example...
Headset cracking
Premature metal fatigue
Wrist ache (not a big issue)
Wheels getting damaged
etc?
Any thoughts welcome
are you good at dirt jumping ?
That fork won't cause any of the issues you describe bar perhaps wrists/bodily issues.
Isn't the point of dirt jumping that you are landing on ramps etc so there's no need for suspension?
are you good at dirt jumping ?
Rubbish and proud.
They are also going to be used for cross country.
Probably if I'm being truthful more cross country more than jumping. Cheers for your' advice Al. : )
Dirt jumps are smooth and not really hard on the bike like drops to flat or something.
You will break long before they will don't worry!
guess I don't have anything to worry about then. : )You will break long before they will don't worry!
