Back again with another action packed Explained video for ya. This time around I'm forkin' excited to talk about forks. Not really. Although you'd never guess that because this video is 40 forkin' minutes long. There really are a lot of nuance details, designs, degrees, and dorky background info about the part you probably think about the least. So do yourself a favor and set your playback speed to 1.5x and learn everything there is to know about forks...
Check out the massive stock of forks (and everything else) that Source BMX carries:

Thanks for putting these out Ryan! Your replacement recommendation is a good idea! I recently had a fork snap at the crown race on a simple disaster on a 4ft quarter... six years old and a reputable company. Got away with only some bruises and scrapes. Walked away feeling really lucky. I’m pretty easy on my gear. Mainly up and down on transitions and dirt. Apparently the fork had been cracked and I didn’t realize it... totally a good suggestion to replace every 2-3 years. Was a first in my 40 years of Bmx... a first since 1997 when I got my first updated bike with 1 1/8 inch steerer. Crazy to think many of us have been running forks for presumably too long. Park tools makes a cutting guide that mounts in a vice and a hacksaw for metal is used to cut by hand... a grinder with metal cutting disk will be hard to cut straight. Stay safe out there fellas! I’d also recommend chains be replaced often as well! A broken chain is no joke!

I think the emphasis on replacing your forks is something to always remember! Just because forks have a warranty doesn't mean you should ride them until they snap so you can get your replacement forks for free! Anyone who has broken a set of forks will tell you it's better to just pay for a fresh pair of forks, than it is to wait until your forks break!

Fatigue (repetitive vibration and minor flexing) is the only issue. All cromolly needs to be post heat treated after welding. The haz (heat affected zone) next to the weld weakens the tubing. There is post weld annealing and post weld forging (higher temp, more brittle} Almost all brands have convex tig welds. You want stronger concave welds but the welders are too lazy. Many brands have undercut welds too, the dropouts will have material missing that melted away at the base of the weld. If your forks are mixed steels, either hi tensile, cromo or plain steel they are very prone to fatigue failure

Also I grew up racing and rocking quarter pipes from age 10-high school. Kids would swap parts all the time. None of us had money for new forks. I don't recall anyone snapping forks or frames? We did some gnarly sh-t too. And the bikes were not built nearly as strong as todays bikes, Every so often you would hear of someone cracking a frame. I stretched my headtube on my Quadangle and still used it. So why are the newer gear breaking ? Kinda like within baseball and so many bats breaking. Never used to???? Are we that much more hard core ?:)
@BobbyPhoenix 3 жыл бұрын
I didn't get to watch the whole thing through yet I only got about 20 minutes in, but with all the specs you were mentioning you left one out that I don't hear a lot talked about either. That's the rake of the fork, or the angle of the blades to the steerer tube. I guess maybe it's an industry standard now but you used to see forks literally straight up and down with the fork blades and the stair tube, and then you would see some that have like a two to four degree angle. That definitely affects the ride also.

Allow me to correct you - 11:40 - offset is a measure of length, not an angle, so it can't be degrees; it's usually millimetres. If you draw a line through the centre of the steerer tube, then another line (parallel to the first) through the front axle, the offset is the distance between the two.

There must be real data from lab testing as to the exact lifespan of forks, and a frame, too. My guess is the lifespan would be about 100 years. I appreciate the caution, but this is something that can be known with certainty due to testing. My Redline forks are almost 40 years old, and I have modern bikes also, and there are no cracks or bends in any of them.
@AmazingChinaToday Жыл бұрын
I will add that I've broken and bent many forks over the years, but this was due to design flaws, and they broke within weeks. I thoroughly "tested" my Redline forks when new, with all the moves that destroyed the other forks, and they took the abuse in stride. So if forks last for a month of hard riding, they will last forever.

Craaaap. I'll try to overlay a note on it for other people, but here's what it says: “While forks like the éclat and the Odyssey are all battling to be the strongest forks within BMX, forks like the Mission or the Rant or the Salt are just meant to fill a slot. They’re meant for somebody who doesn’t necessarily need the best and the lightest. They’re for someone that is just starting out or someone that bent their forks and is on a budget. So don’t knock a pair of forks for not being the best, because some forks never intended to be. That’s not the role they were create to fill.”

(11:30) The average i.e, for a 32mm offset in degrees is about 53.1º from the vertical downward... its not the angles as he said... the offset is measured from the vertical to "33mm" or more, down to "0mm". The offset is better measured in that way because of the different shapes of the dropouts it make it harder to measure in an angle. For the rest i agree, I only use used parts for restoration (show/display bikes only), never to do tricks.
