HELP CHOOSING SOME NEW FORKS

[TomaszBurcon]

hey guys i havent had any luck trying to find any forks in aus so i was thinking of maybe getting these?

Sano bombshell complete front end

so i was wondering what do you guys think of them? how do the bombshells compare to other forks and what do you think is a fair price?

 

[yzf250rider]

yea ive got them, they seem alright to me they dont bottom out, i carnt rly compare them to anything as i havnt ridden and other 50s haha

 

[TomaszBurcon]

And will they fit my genuine billet thumpster frame ?

 

[yzf250rider]

pritty sure that chonda guy had them with one of those billet thumpstar frames

if the dude will send em to aus i think grab em, doubt ya find anything as cheep with wheel and brakes, and specially in aus, they may be a little long but can drop fork in clalmps if needed

 

[TomaszBurcon]

Yeah ok thanks brett i think that is what is gonna happen, But i was just wondering the guy said it comes with a 10inch front wheel, and i have been running a 12inch on my red barons is there much difference in the feel between a 10 and 12?
and can i swap my red baron front wheel onto the bombshells?

 

[mini mullisha]

10 inch might be ok as them forks are really long they wont sit as high with 10?
And if your wheel will fit ? i dont know be one those things just hav to look at the 2 wheels together to see if is any difference in the 2

 

[wogtaz ryder]

your wheel probably wont fit , the sano forks use a massive axle .

 

[TomaszBurcon]

Are ok thanks guys, just one more thing is there any issues i might have with these sano bombshells?
like is there any problems that other people have occurred?

(sorry for so many questions just don't want to rush into a product i dont really know =) )

 

[wogtaz ryder]

I have never used a set , but i have heard the lower legs can scuff up bad (maybe because of no fork guards?) to the point where they become useless .. not 100% on the info , it mite of even been about the thumpstar bombshell copy forks that use to do it .

But those ones look in great condition , so they would have plenty of life in them if treated right .

Good price too , depending on what postage price you can get.

i heard bomshells are MTB forks made to suit 50's & fold easy

 

[mini mullisha]
