    The rubber subs are there to prevent the fork stanchion from hitting the top tube or down tube, favourite trail is breakout at mountain Creek.
    The question is this why would you need a double crown fork with only 135 mm of travel and it has quick-release which negates the stiffness that a thru-axle brings a legit double crown downhill fork has anywhere from 180 to travel to 200 mm of travel and has a 20 mm thru-axle

      @Oper8or Před 2 lety +1

      Because cheaper and they can. Even better answer, why not? These are budget builds. Not "Dream build my 12k downhill bike" videos. I mean I do understand what you are saying any why you are asking. I dont think any of us would EVER try to use a fork like this in BC or Northshore. Hell I wouldnt hit Horseface with that fork.

      @s14tat The answer would probably be, nobody needs this fork, that's why we got it🤣.

      @s14tat Před 2 lety +2

      @@WOLFTICKVIDEOS well it definitely makes for good content. It brought me here. Curious about it. Now that you have installed them, you realized that it is a compromise since you can't turn your bars much anymore. At 200mm travel, it's a trade off you are willing to accept. 135? Eeeeehhhhhhhhh~

  • @johnnydoe66
    @johnnydoe66 Před 2 lety +21

    A word of warning for you, a triple crown fork can put an excessive amount of force on the top tube weld. Downhill frames are typically designed with the added strength for those torsional loads. So just be wary and keep an eye on the weld areas of both bottom and top tubes where they join the head tube. I have heard of frames breaking on impact from the added force.

    • @WOLFTICKVIDEOS

  • @lexgiodeleon3223
    @lexgiodeleon3223 Před 2 lety +7

    The fork looks great. You read the air pressure chart incorrectly tick. For 170 it shows 80-95 PSI. Either way your testing and feel to it put you where you needed to be.

    • @WOLFTICKVIDEOS
      @WOLFTICKVIDEOS  Před 2 lety +2

      Hahaha yeah The Tick has been hit in the head a lot🤣. I told him he was tripping because the fork was wayyy to soft but he edited that out I guess. Thank for the Coffee man!!👍😎

    That fork looks cool on the GT, if a little excessive 😂😂😂, but the oil seems a little sus to me.

  • @jamesnipe2341
    @jamesnipe2341 Před 2 lety +1

    I don't know if anyone else has already said it, but you read the air pressure to weight chart wrong, the rider weight is listed in Lbs and Kgs, then further to the right is the fork air pressure that corresponds to that weight. So at 120 lbs or 54.4 kgs, you should be running 70-90 Psi. If you are 150 lbs and you stopped at 80 psi the chart is spot on. Again someone may have already pointed this out.

  • @zmiller1840

    Careful with the dual crown forks, some frames are not built to handle stress in the areas they add stiffness to.

    Looks absolutely sick but only 135mm for a dual crown?? You can get a judy silver tk with 130mm. Definitely a bit sketch overworking the gt by 55mm haha.

    Cool I know I have been quiet for a while can't wait to see what happens with those forks... Found a almost perfect condition 2015 Specialized Enduro for 500 bucks because the brakes were shot and the tires were flat it even had a fox hydrolic dropper post (i absolutely hate the push button it came with)... So it came with a 10-36 tooth 1x SRAM x9 which I thought was crazy for an enduro bike... I'll let you guys pick should I go Shimano Deore XT or SRAM SX 12 speed already fixed the brakes there was a leak on the hose so for my budget build looking only to drop a little more for the drivetrain. I'm still in shock about the deal i got on the bike the fork alone is worth more than I paid but I want to keep everything under budget of 1000 bucks

    I've seen those forks on Enduro bikes. Not something I would use, but still interested in seeing how they compare, given the differences in design. Did you folks ever resolve the issue where the 140mm travel on the fork was a lot less? Thanks for the acknowledgement. Yes, I am old. :-) This bicycling thing is just me trying to slow down the clock as best I can. It's been helping and more people should do it. They will be amazed how much their quality of life will improve.

    Are the intro’s rehearsed or just random? Actually I don’t want to know just keep them coming, they are funny as heck!
    Also about that fork set up. I think the lower crown is too low because your Handle bars shouldn’t be that close to the adjustments knobs..
    The top crown should be just below the adjustment knobs just like the way it looked before you took it apart. Now that will raise your front end a bit also.

    • @WOLFTICKVIDEOS
      @WOLFTICKVIDEOS  Před 2 lety +1

      Nope. Man we have a great relationship, but we are both very passionate people and are a lot alike. Nothing is rehearsed, but the CZcams versions are edited down and of course the language. On our Patreon it is mostly the raw footage and even crazier plus not edited for language🤣. The reason we have the fork adjusted like that is to give the GT it's best chance of surviving what we are about to do to it😆😎.

  • @Mntbkr64
    @Mntbkr64 Před 2 lety +1

    If you are going to put that fork through its full potential, I must insist that you use those Hex locking skewers you have floating around. 9mm, non-tapered, DH forks are a bit of a dichotomy. When I lived in Cedar City, Utah, I would attend the Flyin' Brian downhill races, in Brian Head, each August. Competition downhill bikes are a totally different animal and fun to watch. DH forks typically run in the $1 - 2K range. Downhill racers are certifiably insane.
    BTW, 2 thumbs up.
