sweet, i'll just follow you until the last lap and then use your g-string to slingshot past.

It's jackasses like st jizzle that make me wish I was still a CAT 5 just so I could fuck with them.

you don't need that. nothing is wrong with the one you have.

it will go great with that pursuit frame..

its a road fork anyway..

nashbar forks suck anyway.

p.s. this is the track thread. not the how to i upgrade my pista that i've had for two weeks thread.

It was an affordable upgrade to my entry level road bike. It took OVER A POUND off my cro moly fork set up AND IS SMOOTHER ON MY HANDS FOR LONG RIDES

Amy:

nashbar forks are affordable and if they end in failure, at least you'll have first hand knowledge on the subject with no major financial loss.

p.s. this is the track thread. not the "i raced track for a quarter of a season and have now earned the right to publicly embarrass anyone with beginner questions" thread.

good idea: dont sell current fork. see if you like new fork. you could probably even return it if you found out you didn't like it immediately.

besides, if he sells that bike, he could just put up "COMES WITH STRAIGHT BLADED CARBON FORK" in the ad and you can jack the price up.

unless you place the ad on pdxfixed, where people try to block all great money making schemes as a means of letting everyone know how much they know about bikes. pfft.

Amy, stfu. This is the track FAQ and DISCUSSION. I had to ask the question somewhere seeing as I have nowhere else to get opinions. A pista is technically a "track" styled bike and I had a question to DISCUSS. Stop being a dyke. Everything you said was useless

Thanks aokp. I have to learn about these things some way.

Real talk, stop getting distracted from the little verbal fight at hand and realize the truth that getting that fork is going to fuck over your geometry. Only newbies who don't know anything about geometry do "upgrades" like that, although I guess if people can get used to riding a 650 front around town then they can get used to royally fucking their trail up too. This isn't about who has raced track or who doesn't like Bike Nashbar, it's about telling you to leave your bike the way it was designed to be ridden, especially if you want to have something that handles decent at the track. But hey, go talk it up with Dean at Bike Central......

By the way Amy, Nashbar forks aren't as cheap as the rest of their little brand, they're just rebadged Kinesis forks which are actually pretty decent. Same with Performance's forks.

thanks for editing out the part where you called me a dyke.

[quote][cite] aokp:[/cite]so. who's racing what this weekend?
i'm thinking:
-fast twitch friday
-blue ribbon
-heartbreaker
-pass out on my face[/quote]

I think I wanna do exactly that too... a lot of fast dudes will be doing Cirque de Cycling crit on Saturday so the Blue Ribbon may have a slightly easier overall field out there, but that's just a hunch.

Add Twilight Crit Tuesday to my schedule... and maybe Tabor or PIR the following Tues/Wed. Damn I love Portland summers!

i had planned on watching the cirque de cycling crit :\
but oh well.

the twilight crit looks pretty fun, bummer (for me) that it's out in eugene.

yo, oxymoron, though amy and aokp have good points about unnecessarily replacing your front fork, i do realize that the unicrown pista forks are f'in ugly. since this is a track discussion page, you might want to consider getting one of the chrome tange forks that they put on the soma rushes, or a fork from spicer or kazane/keirin culture. i think that would be a much better choice asthetically, without making your bike handle like a boat in the banking. that advice is in the context of track racing, as a nice chrome road fork from ebay would be fine for street use and make your steering pretty stable.

AnOxymoron:

There you go Amy, you actually made a post with constructive advice instead of being a dyke.
Anyways, all I was looking for was an opinion from people I know are more bike savvy than I (I banned myself from bikeforums haha). Thank you DelBerto and stumptown...I just wanted some advice seeing as I clearly don't know much about the difference between fork styles/angles/rake and such. The fork I currently have is some aftermarket carbon fork that the guy who previously owned the bike put on it. Just trying to learn :)

quoted for proof that you called me a dyke, twice.

amy's going to use this evidence in convincing her boyfriend to kick your ass!

i'ts free to ride on, but time is extremely limited due to scheduled practices.
racing is usually $10.
wednesday classes are $10.
