And what do you feel is the limitations of turning with a triple crown
besides bar spins?

This biggest limitation of a triple crown fork is that you
can't buy one.

Second time?

It must really **** you off.

I always preferred triple tree, to "double crown" or "triple clamp."


How about 'Dew Sticks?

You're confusing being amused with being ****ed off.

HTH.

Ok, now I get it... so what are the limitations of a triple clamp fork
for riding trials?

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

But can't I buy a triple "clamp" fork?

Did I get it right?

Enduro SL Expert FSR
Specialized Future Shock e150, dual crown w/ intergrated stem, 150mm,
external rebound, compression adjust, 25mm thru axle, alloy steerer

So, what are the limitations of a dual crown with intergrated stem for
riding trials?

Thanks,
Dave

Sounds like a more sophisticated version of the endo-tailwhips we did
on our BMX bikes 25 years ago. I don't recall having a triple crown.

If his bars turn with the rest of the bike then its an endo turn and
is entirely feasible with a double clamp fork.
Any full suspension bike will be **** for trials though. HTH!

Sigh.

A single crown fork IS a "triple clamp." One clamp for the steer tube and
two for the legs. Even though now most clamps are press fit.

What you want to know is can you do a 180 tail whip with a "dual crown" or
"double triple clamp fork."

A dual crown fork severely limits the amout a fork can turn. If you want to
get into dirt jumping I suggest a strong single crown fork like a Fox 36.
