Triple Crown Fork
I'm in the process of buying a new bike. I'm looking at the Specialized
Enduro. It has a triple crown fork. I currently have a single crown? - I have a cheap Trek. Anyway, I was watching WestCoast Freeriding and they had this video with Ryan Leach doing amazing stuff. In once scene, he was cruising down this single track, he pulled a wheelie with his back wheel, whipped the tail 180 degrees and then started pedaling again in the opposite direction (so basically an instant reverse of direction). Can this be done with a triple crown fork? I noticed he didn't have one... Thx Dave |

They are both "All Mountain" bikes, but the SL is significantly lighter both in weight, and construction. The SL is not a freeride bike, and the E150 Future Shock is quite possibly the lightest duty triple clamp fork out there. The SL's fill the gap between the "trail bike" (Stumpjumper) and the freeride/Super D SX/SX Trail, by sliding closer to the Stupjumper end. On the other hand the Enduro slides more towards the SX end of the scale. I currently have a single crown? - I have a cheap Trek.

There are probably only a few percent of riders out there with skills that exceed what their bike is capable of. IOW, don't worry about the lack of a triple crown fork holding your riding skills hostage. ;-) Mark Hickey Habanero Cycles http://www.habcycles.com Home of the $795 ti frame |

Triple Crown Fork
Thanks for everyone's responses. This is my question. Has anyone in
this group ever done a 180 tail whip with a triple crown? And what do you feel is the limitations of turning with a triple crown besides bar spins?

It must really **** you off. R I always preferred triple tree, to "double crown" or "triple clamp." |
