Triples on Hardtail for test ride. risky?

[Tysoon]

I've Read plenty bout not running triple clamp forks on h/tails.
but........

dont have all parts yet for my giant DH comp, got a pair of DNM USD-180's yesterday (dirt cheap (suck my balls)), and hanging to see how they feel.
Would I be safe to run em in my 05 norco 250 (steel, gussetts, n dont know if it matters but 26" wheels) for one day?


(have an STP frame to back me up if it does break)

On a similar note anyone know where I can find a BB with a 100mm shell?

Use them on the STP in the first place, then you will be the coolest kid on the block :cool: but it should be alright, what riding will you be doing?

[Plow King]

Why not wait...?

you can but the geo would be wack it might not break but it will ride stupid.

ken oath. it'll give you a crappy idea of the true quality/shittiness of the forks too. just wait for the dh comp or whatever it was.

are you sure its a 100mm bb? i think chainreactioncycles.co.uk could sort you out

I had tripples on my 2005 Norco Havoc.
IMO, Havocs are and always have been the choice bike for all beginners, decent parts, geometry and ''feel''.;)

i suggest not..i owned a pair of dnm's same forks as yours for a while and they are very heavy, i suggest not on a STP
