Forks. Footjams, aka toe jams, aka jammed toes
« on: July 26, 2015, 09:27:12 PM »
Talking about most new forks designed to fit larger tyres and with that said the spacing between tyre and steerer if running a smaller size of tyre like me 2.2" makes for fun times with toe jams literally, what are your thoughts on this, do you run moto tyres, do you like the look or if your like me do you like the pain ?

Yeah I've got a bar-end in there but as for looks, it looks like shit, not liking the awesome gap from tyre to steerer but it does save my toes as I've jammed them many times.

it took me about 3 sets of forks and 4 tyres to learn them without hurting my toes, and that was only on flatbanks like 10 years ago. i dont know how people can do them and still have toenails, i think its something about jamming the foot in sideways
this year i am going to have sex and it will be awesome

^Yep. Gotta jam your foot in sideways. Half the time I ride, I ride in Vans Authentics and I've never had an issue. On that note though, fuck this monster truck tire trend.

would rather watch the olympics if i want to see a black guy jump things, least they don\'t have the mentality of a beaten 13 year old.
