Disasters snap frames as well as many other sorts of forks but its strange considering the awesomeness of those. I'm surprised but disasters do but pressure on frame and forks....

No offense but you must be a pretty big guy. Plus as suggested before disasters are exactly what their names state. very bad for mountain bikes.

ahahaha, there is nothing awesome about the sanku rigids! they snap like tooth picks and if you ask me, they are worse then trailblades

i would never buy them or even think about buying them or even recomend them to anyone

Worse then trailblades is a biig statment I mean they pretty much come pre-bent. I really didn't know that these were that bad never heard anything bad about them until now. So rebates is pretty much the only option left then

well trailblades do bend, but sanku's snap:rolleyes:....and well i would rather forks that bend, then snap and you loose both eyes, several teeth and look like a blind hilly billy after :p

and yeah rebates are the only rigid fork to get or a S&M pitch fork i think it is in 24"

Exactly why a 5 piece fork (7 if you include the dropouts!) is stupid. Unnecessary welding, unnecessary joints.

That being said, nice effort :)

thats nasty. I bent my pair not long ago to and they told me bends don't come under warranty but snaps do.. so looks like your all sweet for a new pair.
 
24 bicycles have to really do something about that seeing that they pride themselves on strength and reliability, thats not good for business!

Gee, that isn't good. Well I hope your are going back to forks with suspension. But gee, that would have made a really bad noise. :eek:
