iskulbukul, yung distance naman ng tire and the arc is fixed kahit tumalbogtalbog ka pa

80mm lang daw travel ng fork ko, and 26" ang wheels ko.

[iskulbukul]

Sir iskulbukul,

I am also interested sa fork SUNTOUR brand, saan bike shop po kayo nakabili ng fork nyo?

Maraming Salamat Po!

[boybi]

Can someone confirm this?

Sabi ng mga kasama kong bikers, the best daw sa aftersales ng mga forks is Fox. Madali raw magclaim ng warranty. Yung Rockshox naman is sa Cebu pa raw ang authorized service center. Yung Suntour naman is parang disposable fork naman.

Hi To All Mountain bikers,

Maki-join na nga po to all your discussion about mountain bikes. I am a weekend rider with a 1994 Killer V Cannondale Trailbike, gusto ko po sana i-convert this bike into a Road Bike due to my riding condition here in our area. My questions are;
1. Do I really need to change the whole frame and use other things?
2. Is changing only the fork make any difference?

By the way, do we have a mountain bike group that I can join in Manila?

Thanks!

iskulbukul - salamat for your info/reply.

yep... Fox has more dealers... But then I would go for the Rock Shox Revelation. Its not like I am going to have the suspension broken. We riders usually change then before it breaks... Sometimes pa nga... Linalagay ang old suspensions to other bikes.

Sir, there is a group of MTBikers... PinoyMTB heres the link: http://pinoymtbiker.proboards7.com/

Anyway with regards to your question... Trail Bike > Convert to > Road Bike?
You have to deal with these things:
1) You might be interested in Hybrids. They're not Road Bikes but they are more road worthy than mountain bikes. If you really want to go for Road Bikes, you are facing a whole greater stuff since it includes weight, aerodynamics etc. etc.
2) Changing forks makes a lot of difference in your riding style. There are different forks in different usage. Some people change forks becuase they link the features and the way they perform.

* Sir Boybi,
