don’t buy colony products.there is no warranty they claim cause i painted my forks that i somehow damaged the product.is that why my dropout on my fork broke.i’ve painted every pair of forks i’ve ever owned and they never broke the dropout.there a foreign company if you are not from australia tough luck.i want to add that i had my local bike shop try to get a refund.they said the same lame excuse and the bike shop said they had

im not really a hack and my verde fork bent like butta meltz laying outside on a hot summer day yo
May 20th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
Kind of funny I was just looking to buy some new forks too haha. Damn I was hoping they would look at the Eastern Hawkeye forks… I was thinking about picking up some of those. I would pick up the Fly Pantera forks but I can’t seem to find them in 14mm axle size… anyone know if they even make them with 14mm drop outs??
May 21st, 2009 at 9:35 am
Actually yes, I was one of the winners for the Colony Pedals.

pitchforks….fuck taiwan
May 22nd, 2009 at 8:52 am
eastern forks are bad also, idk about the new breed they came out with. but the nitrous forks i had bent in 3 days when i 180′d a 5 stair… i called the bike shop i called it from and they told me that “your not suppost to tricks like that” so i freaked out and called eastern and they sent me the same pair.
the drop outs bent when i did a smith on really waxed ledge, and i went on it smooth, its not like i slamed front heavy or anything
but my friend i ride with has Sunday Morning Forks and says there really solid and amazing for street riding, so im just going to put that out there
May 22nd, 2009 at 10:11 am
Yeah! What they said!
May 22nd, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Don’t buy KHE Cirrus forks, they suck, didn’t last a month. Buy Odyssey or S&M, best things ever.
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:35 pm
You can’t go wrong with Odyssey or S&M forks! Time tested and proven! Nuff said.
May 24th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
most of eastern products suck, i had one of there forks it snapped in half while i was landing a 360 on dirt. Their pedal spindle broke on me, handlebars bent to shit. what else wrong can happen with their parts

i wouldn’t ever buy eastern products
i’ve broken two frames (one stock, one i got through the warranty)
forks, bars, and the spindle on my cranks
stay awayyy!!!
May 27th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Completely agree. I don’t trust eastern at all! after two months of light riding i had to replace the driver in my hub, I snaped my medusa sprocket, know a million people who have bent their frames, bent a pair of ultra lite bars. only decent eastern parts are the pedals, but those will tear your legs to shreds. i got the director fork and LOVE IT!
Odyssey is hands down my favorite brand, I love their rims, pedals, forks, hubs, bars, pretty much anything really. I cracked a pair of iPedals but that was after like 6 months of riding.
