it is usually owned and run by the site owner, there would be no benefit to the store owner if
he was advertising other peoples products unless he was to get a percentage of the sales.
In the Wanted to Sell forum members can advertise their items but usually its prohibited for
people like me who manufacture a few parts,
the mere fact that I'm a member here gets me a few sales.
hobot said:Ya know I'm instantly interested but how the heck do ya do test compares and who'd believe me anyway. It takes some good tire howling squealling cycles from hi speeds down hill preferably to heat up harsh enough to test fading tolerance. There should be a flat center on front tire by end of a testing session and slab side side walls.
hobot said:Ugh maybe so swishersweetie, with the pasture gooffer holes and roots to fly across or into ugh but that level of testing could break bike or pilot parts first, so not exactly 'jumping' at the offer. The main reason though is even if the best lastting kit there ever was - it ain't factory so not for Trixie and Peel can't use it for a few reasons. To be impolite you were the first to come to my mind as one already testing forks beyond anything I'm up for : )
madass140 said:No, its not about testing to see if anything breaks ,in particular the fork slider as its cast in A356 high tensile
alloy and the fact that the caliper mounting section on the rear of the slider is 5-1/2" in length
makes a good strengthening gusset, I expect it would be stronger than the stock item and I cant recall
seeing to many of them break.
the testing is merely getting an unbiased opinion on fit up of the complete kit as well as quality of the
components and of course braking performance .
