outsider1986:
anyone out there uses s&m race xlt fork for street and trails or think they're recommended as well? I weigh 155lbs and don't huck-to-flat, only smoother trannies. I'm looking for a pair of forks that don't require a compression bolt, only need to use with a star fangled nut. cheers.
peggiesmalls:
Yes perfectly fine,done even think about putting pegs on i. They may be thin but remember there s&m quality

That's a very bizarre stipulation, is there a reason for it? Star nuts tend to be pretty crap.
Pretty sure the S&M forks all use a built in compression bolt too.

thanks guys, forgot to mention that I ride pegless.
haha, I ride a frame with a shorter headtube and need to cut the column short and thought normal forks are threaded at where I want to cut.

How short is the headtube?
The Odyssey (and Sunday) forks have the threaded section recessed and the compression bolt has a cut line so you can cut up to 20mm off without a problem (which is a lot). Not sure about other brands.
Even if you end up cutting into the threads on an Odyssey fork you could still retro fit a star nut system.
Hope this helps
