I'm a sucker for weird and quirky things, what do you want to know about this fork (or these brakes) in the full reviews? 👀👇

@LaurentiusTriarius Месяц назад

Service intervals! Must be hard on the bearings? Or is it bushings? I want to know everything lol

@sendyboiii7 Месяц назад

Would you choose the fork over a regular fork?

@DaleStone Месяц назад

Absolutely not, based solely on the lack of a warranty or spare parts. Performance wise maybe!

@Ferrari255GTO Месяц назад

There's a used Evil Undead with an inverted fork and a front Hope 6 piston brake. If the stars aling and the issue on my Demo 8 is esentially unfixable for me i may just end up with it, it's just too cool a thing to look at from a parts prespective

@aledska Месяц назад

I've been riding lewis lh4 for the last 5 months. They're really good so far, no huge issues except that they were kinda finnicky to bleed when i was first learning.

@a8f235 Месяц назад

You also got leaky Shimano calipers lol. Shimano could be pretty good if they just went back to the drawing table and started over as well as offering spareparts for everything inside their brakes. Next year I'll look for something else because I'm done with brakes I cannot trust where the bitepoint lives its own life. If the Lewis brakes are any good and they offer spareparts it could be an alternative. So far I got lots of time to evaluate...

@aledska Месяц назад

@a8f235 spare parts haven't been an issue. So far I've gotten a new o-ring set and new clamp bolt (I stripped the old one) for free as replacements from Lewis. They also sell their own hoses, matchmaker adapters, brake pads, rotors, etc

I'm really interested to hear how the Trust fork pairs with a high pivot suspension. I was able to demo a few and was always impressed at how well the axle path delt with rocks/roots/etc.

@DaleStone Месяц назад

It's definitely interesting. I'd say the rearward axle path is far more important on the rear wheel than the front so far.

@psyguy37 Месяц назад

Looking forward to your opinion of the the Lewis brakes! Your Dominion review was very informative. The leaking caliper was unfortunate, but the sloppy finish on those brakes is what deters me. The missmatching of the machined parts would drive me nuts and the lack of attention to detail at that price makes me question the company. My ebike came with Code's and I've tried to make them suck less by using HS2 rotors and Deslackinators on the levers, but I still hate them. Trying to decide what to replace them with next year and Lewis are on the short list. I can't keep waiting around for next gen Saint.

@EliteHardrive 29 дней назад

What are your thoughts on coil vs air when it comes to enduro in general? Does it depend on the trail in general? Or do you find its worth being able to pump your way through the track with an air shock and put up with the rougher bits?

@DaleStone 29 дней назад

Most important is what the bike's kinematics were designed around.

@billydeewilliams8909 Месяц назад

Just started the video, but that blue tape on the fork is very confidence-inspiring, lol. Rich Drew has one of those forks, and the way the wheel springs forward and tops out in slow-mo video of jumps just never gets old for me. Does the nature of the linkage fork alter the way the geometry changes as the wheel moves through travel, compared to a regular fork?

@DaleStone Месяц назад

The rubber plug that the tape is holding has lost its dingle that holds it on, probably due to age haha. There are absolutely geometry changes that are noticeable throughout the travel. Good and bad...

@a8f235 Месяц назад

It would be interesting to try a fork like that, I just would never purchase it myself given it'd be mainstream if it was a better option than conventional forks. If anything else would go mainstream over that thing it would be upside down forks, but I have little faith in that happening even though you do see some here and there. Quite pricey to get a complete unit at a more acceptable weight when it's an upside down fork.

Upside down forks are rad, I would love to try one too.

@RiderP411 Месяц назад

The axle path on this fork is too rearward at beginning, makes it hard to react to vertical impact, it's very harsh on flat drops almost felt rigid. And too much rearward movement makes it easy to OTB when you're riding slow tech, the front wheel just get's out the way of obstacles and under you, that's good at rear, on the front it's scary.

@RiderP411 Месяц назад

Overall I think it's a good experiment, but maybe the parabolic axle path aren't for the front.

@@TecraTube from what i know most high end fork's legs are made out of magnesium to reduce unsprung weight and improove response, while magnesium is weaker than aluminium there's enough volume of material on fork's legs for it to be resistant enough, since magnesium is a little softer than aluminium and it's often compensated by adding material wich still results in lighter parts
