sherman breakouts input

[Montesalvo]

if you have read my thread about my stp2 you migh notice that i broke the right leg of my forks and was wondering ifthe sherman breakouts 150mm travel would be a good choice because they look good and sound good to

thanks for the help

[rtd]

Well I guess it all depends on your riding style doesn't it. Tell us more, do you downhill, dirt jump, ride skate park? Shermans will stand up to alot of abusement. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Sherman breakouts have a one point five steerer tube? If so, they won't fit on your STP buddy.

i mainly ride the dirt jumps and go to the skate park but occasionly i will got ride down a moutain and do drops of almost anything that wont break my ankles or the bike

i had 170mm shermans on my STP and IT ROCKED, it actually handled really well and felt awesome.

sherman breakouts wont fit but you can get fire flys or flicks with 150mm travel

a 1.5 headtube is optional. try this link below to get your stats right.

In that case, I'd say go for the Flick plus, or the Firefly plus. Then you'd be able to adjust it from 110mm (skate park and jump setting) to 150mm (freeride setting).

shermans also have really low ride heights, a firefly/flick in 110 mode rides at the same height as a 100mm Marzocchi.

Yeah? Might be an idea to check the specs yourself. ;)

[Captain Blake]

1 1/8

Your restriced to 1 1/8 forks.

[Montesalvo]

then what forks fit

[Captain Blake]

Any Marzocchi forks, any Rock Shox forks.

And some Manitou forks.

[Montesalvo]

thanks heaps guys

keeping in mind that any forks over the 110mm mark really start to fuck up the angles on the stp...they're designed for a specific amount of travel...and a set of 150mm or 170mm shermans are going to be absaloutly fucking stupid and pointless unless you lower them to around the 110mm. You sound like a dumbass, and from the looks of your posts...you are too.

welcome to farkin, bitch.

[Captain Blake]

130mm is fine. It actually feels quite nice.

150-170mm, well SNAP.

How? they don't make 170mm versions in 1 1/8.
