New forks

I bought some 20mm chrome forks for my bike as I have had problems with my left shoulder and arm due in part I think from the shocks from casing manuals and my carbon forks.

Someone at the weekend suggested buying some s&m chrome forks as they absorb more shock and are actually lighter than carbon forks.

I decided to try some cheaper chrome forks first before shelling out £150 on the S&M forks.

I went on eBay and bought some URP 20mm cruiser forks £30 delivered. They arrived today so I put them on my bike and went to the track to do some testing even tough I wasn't supposed to be riding to rest my arm!

First impressions are really good. The bike feels much smoother and there are no shocks going up my arms. As I was there I decided to try and manual the first jump and was able to do it a couple of times and also cased a few times without pain in my arms.

I am going to do a proper training session to MN borrow to see how my arm feels.

Here are some photos of the new bike. Oh I also bought a new Allen key with the 3 most common sizes for a bike in a star shape. I also bought a couple of all stands so that I can start sprint training tomorrow.
