how does that 20mm axle tighten down? Looks heavy, but priced right for somebody staying on the ground.

.....woulndt put this on any bike at any price. a nine pound "only works good for trails" fork? pure garbage with garbage damping im sure, if not then a nightmare to service if you even can. a good trail fork weight should be 4 pounds. stick to bombers or fox best. just my opinion but im sure others will agree.

check mtbr.com for reviews on real mountain bike parts

I know real down hill forks run in the $1,000 range. To compare a $150 fork to a $1,000 fork isnt a fair comparison. On the other hand, if you want a great double crown suspension fork for an eBike and you are NOT in the pocket ability to enjoy a $1,000 fork, this is an option of great potential. 9 pounds? SHIT! I weigh almost 400! I would gladly opt into a triple crown downhill STYLE suspension fork, even for my pedal only MTB that I beat around town when my electric is down. Which is how I found it, looking for a better option than the cheap fork on my MTB now. I have a hard time believing that this is not a find for some of the folks on this site. Sorry for wasting YOUR time, hopefully someone else will find it helpfull. SINCERELY - SS

Thats a great question though, there should be 4 clamp screws that are obviously not apparent! THAT could be a MAJOR issue on a fork that has independent action. I will contact seller and ask about that. SS

true, it may just hold up . Price is cheap for dual crowns agreed. Its your money, i bought a second hand "$1000 fork" for 400$ brand new condition, just got its first oil change after a year of hard service , and i can tell you its worth every penny!!!! . handles like BUTTER and will last many many years it has already gone for five and is like new . DH forks are great for ebikes !!!
Not trying to rain on your parade, just my opinion as i say.

forks tires helmets pedals, not things to be cheap about

I did not find any positive reviews on this fork on the internet. only people trying to sell them cheap. hmmmmm

how about renaming thread to somthing relevant such as "cheap forks on ebay"

ha i thought i was going to see a 100 ft jump on a ebike :lol: ....

those forks are ok for street riding with low air,but those model rst dont have much for dampening but a good stable braking platform,they look good. i would put them on a bike for sure even though i have 8 inch travel marzzochi.i can never spell that word.

Peace of sheet fork. You will be dissapointed soon. It can't transffer quick twists and feels like your wheel is on two rubber hoses. Shocks are quite good but the fork is bending backwards while braking. you can see it. Also there is issue with screw on axle, outher thread is 1/2" lefthended and inner is 3/8" rightheand. It is hard to adjust tension of a R20 hub and QR20 is no go for this fork. Don't buy it.

I was also thinking about this fork. Hal advised me its not good . Anyway they have a new version :

DUDE!! Those are gonna look freakn SWEET on my Next DH bike that I got for $150 at Walmart. Can't wait to upgrade to these forks, look for me on www.failblog.org :lol:

All jokes aside, these forks LOOK really nice, they even have black stanchions, adjustments, and air ride. It sounds like Hal has tried these though and I trust his opinion.

That was one of the forks that looks realy good. Thet was the reason I got them. I still have one that I use as jig for new frames...
