I break it and loose all faith in aluminium and get myself a cromoly steer tube. Turns out the cromoly tube has thinner walls than the aluminium steer tube (since less material is needed to achieve the same strength) and we run into trouble. The outer diameter has to be 1 1/8 inch (since that's the standar) minus the wall thickness and taaa daaaa... we got a bigger inner diameter than we had on the aluminium steer tube.<br /><br />Now back to the "fork legs are machined to fit a thick walled aluminium steer tube" part. You obviously see where I'm going with this (if not, you're in fact the idiot (sorry, just using your vocabulary))... there is room to wobble around, even if you tighten it onto the fork legs like mad, this solution is far from ideal.<br /><br />It could have even gone the opposite, legs machined to fit a thinner walled cromoly steer tube, and I switch to a thicker walled aluminium steer tube. And oh snap, I can't fit it on the fork legs.<br /><br />So please explain how you solved this, and then I maybe won't find this idea total crap.<br /><br />Feel free to mail me: goran_karacic *monkey goes here* hotmail.com<br /><br />Best regards.Goran Karacichttp://gorankaracic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134599951201795.post-8099716165100365212012-11-27T00:57:44.523-06:002012-11-27T00:57:44.523-06:00Haha, no, kid...

I know everyone hypes on rider run companies, but do you cannot equal technical knowhow with endless testing, it isn't efficient and wont come out with the same result. Yeah, you need riders to test the product before market, and to highlight the specific problems they have had with scooter forks during the design process, but for my money, i want someone with technical knowhow designing my fork.<br /><br />Just fyi, im not endorsing this fork yet, i would like to see more specs and maybe get my hands on it. im also not writing it off. <br /><br />and Madis - who the hell is riding those forks?

I have a rider at my shop that has demolished Lucky SMX and Phoenix Wedge fork (which are aluminium) and has bent forktube ends of a TSI fork and a Striker (both chromoly 4130) into conus shape so that the SCS locks in all the way leaving no slit, all of them within the last 6 months, normal use. I dare you to send us a fork. I'd be happy to see a fork that lasts more than a month besides a highly-reinforced SR fork that he's using at the moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134599951201795.post-42944780130001296022012-11-25T18:44:32.096-06:002012-11-25T18:44:32.096-06:00everybody is 'PIST'everybody is 'PIST'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134599951201795.post-3003835707607541552012-11-25T11:39:31.811-06:002012-11-25T11:39:31.811-06:00Alright guys.

The legs and tube total should cost less than an SMX.<br />Also, it will be cheaper to maintain, because you won't have to replace the whole fork.<br /><br />This is nothing like the DSA Cambo fork. The DSA forks sucked dick. It was the worst design scooter riding has ever seen. The tube didn't even lock on.<br />And whoever you are who said that VertX copied Phoenix decks, you're just an idiot.<br /><br />And lastly guys, the forks are very strong. They HAVE been tested, and they will not break. <br />Dom Marconinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134599951201795.post-48705775773380988342012-11-25T10:44:57.546-06:002012-11-25T10:44:57.546-06:00Id rather just buy a whole new fork... more connec...Id rather just buy a whole new fork... more connections/welds/bolts only mean weakness, this is why many forks are CNCed now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134599951201795.post-84478601542207752482012-11-25T07:33:44.403-06:002012-11-25T07:33:44.403-06:00whats this gonna be 90 dollars or more scootering ...whats this gonna be 90 dollars or more scootering is too expensive nowa days for little pieces of medal its not worth it.ColeGraham123https://www.blogger.com/profile/16447709725930457141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134599951201795.post-19728425076806346952012-11-25T04:24:53.590-06:002012-11-25T04:24:53.590-06:00If this fails, some of the Vertx fans might be a l...If this fails, some of the Vertx fans might be a little 'PIST' off haha!Darcy Altavillanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134599951201795.post-85896022447569203492012-11-25T02:23:18.804-06:002012-11-25T02:23:18.804-06:00I'm a bit skeptical..
