That BB would be hitting the ground by just bouncing on the suspention.

possibly, but i don't think so. a fork that tall would raise the bottom bracket height to something like 16-17 inches with 24" wheels

Thats what I was thinking. Your 50lb Karpiel that is "just for hucking"

Wonder how much buyers remorse he has.
Who would buy that off him, and how cheap would he have to sell it? I have seen that bike on Pinkbike for about 6 months now.
He would be better off, selling it as parts, or a complete bike, without the fork.

You know? I have to admit it, I really like the 24's! I raced on a pair of 24's 2 years ago and I really like how they felt, with the lowered BB along with the lowered c.o.g. I could fly on those wheels, but like all good things they came to an end and I went back to my standard size wheels because my boyfriend went south. Blah, Blah, Blah!
Anyway, now for the criticism on the forks! These super monster T's are never seen at any of the races, at least none of the races I have ever been at and the only time I ever DO see them, outside of some crazy drop Bender is doing, is on PINKBIKE. What is up with our fellow Canadain riders? Are they really hot-shot droppers in need of some serious suspension or are they trying to compensate for a little weenier?
Just my 2 cents!

Do you realize how many headtubes have cracked on karpiels?
I had one of them.
That fork is no more out of place on that norco than it is on any other bike........except for maybe the one off canfield that was designed for it.

Please don't mind the Canadian pinkbikers. They just don't know any better. They're usually ignorant kids from the western side of Canada. I don't understand it myself.

None.
Canfield built a frame for bender to accomodate the length of the fork though.

why does everybody think pink bike and its forums are a joke? have you ever sat back and read all the whino stuff on this website? -jess
I hove found that there is in fact quite a bit of garbage in the forums, be it threads or uneducated responses. However i do enjoy the updates and photos, personally I think RM has a top notch forums with the occasional grievances but eh what can you do, its the internet:p

More accurately this thread should be titled good old Canada.
