was there a little sticker on the frame saying something like 'this bike was not built for jumps or bmx / competition use?'

[bazz1990]

there the only stickers were the colony ones on the forks and frame (i found it strange or is this normel that it came with out them warning stickers)

[DWN-HLR]

well that means your warranty is void

[bazz1990]

so if it only had the colony stickers on the bike when i bought it and i havent removed any stickers..it dont have warrenty

[DJ1wheel]

Anyways, if its only your forks, i'd suggest getting out there and getting the fattest cromo ones you can with 5mm dropouts.

here you go dude, go sick - 1st things i'd replace on any BMX are the forks anyway

I cant promise that... I used to find a wall, and well - start running my bike into it...

i'd bend the forks back, but they are never going to be as strong as they used to be.

i'd suggest putting up a thread now asking for a cheap set of forks to get you by.??

[alright]

Don't bend them back, if worst comes to worst buy like a set of a gt bump for like $30.

[Jordy]

You wont get warranty on a set of forks that bent due to rider error 99% of the time.

well yeah, thats a better idea :) I was a bit ghetto back in my BMX days.

[rhysrhysbaby]

how did you bend them?

[bazz1990]

i think it was the 180 barspine the spine when i cliped the coping but it fakeyed out of it still or the 180 stair set

[poopoohead]

well there's your problem.

[bazz1990]

well i have been talking to a guy from colony and i sent him pics and my recipt for the bike and i am getting a new pair of black ones .black eww with my gunpowder white colony let me know what you think it will look like with black forks

[rhysrhysbaby]

i heard that spray paint stuff works real well when you want to change the colour of something.

[bazz1990]

i am not to good at spray painting and local hardware store hasnt got any gunpowder white all they had was a baby s@#t brown colour
