Budget Forks Tortured😱See What Happened!!!

[@kennykendall5709]

“Giggling of fear.” Sounds like a year end compilation of these moments needs to be made!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA HA!! WHOLE LOTTA GIGGLING!!

[@mick1167]

Thanks for the shout-out guys. The public shaming was harsh though! 😅

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hey brother you are an O.G., it is the least we could do:) Thanks for the comment, we talked about it a few times, so felt it needed to be in there. SHAME...SHAME...SHAME..🔔

[@eugene44569]

thank you for almost risking your life to test these cheap forks

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

YOU ARE VERY WELCOME:)

[@chrishorbatt3504]

Thanks, but I don't remember what I said! I really appreciated this episode because you reestablished your mission of testing lower cost parts. You did it in a really fair way, explaing why you felt a certain way, even emphasizing that all these forks are not the same. You had several comments saying they liked there Bucklos forks(You know how I feel about that) but didn't like some of these other ones. Another good video!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

You said that it felt like The Tick held back a little because he had pre-determined that the fork was dangerous and sketchy. You were sort of correct, but he was also injured and determined to ride the downhill and only the downhill. We have never got away from what we do, but we have alot of differing ideas and sometimes he "Divas" so hard I can't get him grounded in time for filming🤣.

[@davidd3327]

I think the himalo needs a recheck on it after working out some of the action on it . It seems like a whole different animal than what you guys have been using. It may have taken some getting used to and working out to break in. Keep rocking guys! You represent for the budget bros out there! Not everyone can drop the coin for a SID or Fox etc.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

We will probably be doing a score adjustment soon. Thanks man, gotta represent the poor people hahaha🥰👍

[@shoobybikes1728]

Great information on the budget forks WolfTick! So glad you are taking the TriFox off the X1!! It will completely change the feel of the bike! You guys continue to up the bar budget reviews. Love it WolfTick 🤘

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks SHOOBY! We love it man, and very funny this is like the 5th comment about someone being excited for me to be taking the bars off! LOL

[@jamieh4814]

re-score the himalo. i want to hear jeremiah giggling in fear again. with pads on and a full face helmet of course! ⚠️

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hahaha of course. Yeah, I think we are planning on a slight re-score of the Himalo. We will probably change the "Bigs" and the penalty. Thanks man!

[@TheCaptainsCog]

That was a good discussion on forks and how to win at customer service. My bucklos are still rockin but the main question is how strong they are when you are jumping big ole dubs. Cant wait for 2 vids a week!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA Bucklos seems to be holding up:) 2 COMING IN HOT!!! Thanks El Capitan

[@Adam12SD]

Daaaang... now I’ve gotta get through a whole work day before I can watch this. 😅 Looking forward to it.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣🤣😂 Well man hopefully you sneaked a little on here and there!! Lol thanks brother🤣🤣

[@JimmyHinton]

I'm looking to upgrade my forks on my bike. Thanks for a great video.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Yes Sir, glad you enjoyed it man. Thanks Jimmy

[@stevenkmorrison]

YES! Put the DH fork on a full squish and re-rate

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

JUST MIGHT!! HA HA But hopefully a straight steerer tube:)

[@fatbikearcticnomad2122]

SR Suntour is my favorite budget fork. Also, EXA Form KS rear shocks are great too. Best quality budget shocks. Great channel guys! 👍👍

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man Suntour is sweet, we love ours:) And the Exa for sure! Love it, thanks for the view and the comment man.

[@tonysrcoutdooradventures621]

I Ride a Fat tire E-Bike SE f@r 4 8"X 26.0" rear tire bike. I put 750 miles on a Bucklos. It had no rebound at all (loud clunk every time the front tire left the ground). So, I tied a strap to stop full extension. I replaced seals and regreased several times. I rode this shock down many 1000 vert drops. All though I am almost 66 years old, I do not do Big Air. I like old style Backcountry Technical. So I retired the shock yesterday. (RIP)

[@dakotamartin1621]

I just found this channel last night and I'm so glad I did. The first few videos, I skipped the shenanigans, but now I enjoy them just as much as the covered content. This is an awesome channel. Thanks for doing this stuff. I'm very new into mountain biking and bought a schwinn S29 dual suspension last summer that looks almost identical to the temissor. Only difference I see is the color, the shifters, and the front fork is a quick detach. Keep the content coming!

[@LebronPhoto1]

LOL! I had to really laugh about the back and forth with the Lutu guys.. "and you can keep the fork to use". Really? You folks are too nice. I would have said, give me my money back and "youuuuu can keep the fork to use".

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man we try to be as understanding as possible! Lol next time we may just pull a Lebron Photo! (not.com)

[@MAGICCIGAM68]

Nice review as always guys. The fork comparisons have been a great help for many but would love to see a comparison between your rear shocks you have acquired and are using or have used in the past. Still like the look of the LUTU 34 AN but with that "missing in action 20mm of travel" I found it useless to invest in a boosted front to test them out. ✌️🤙👍

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Completely understand man, it's crazy the prices of boosted front wheels. Thanks for the idea but man, we hardly know anything about the rear!! MAYBE??🤣🤣🤣

[@MTBAlex]

glad you are taking that weird bar off the ledge

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

LOL!!! Man it is TIME:(

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Really enjoyed the updates, especially as I'll be wanting to upgrade my Aggressor Pro fork by spring. Have a great week, guys 😁✌

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks Smalls, we have been wanting to get an update out:) Good luck on the fork SEARCHING! Let us know if you need some affiliate links....

[@techjeeper8800]

I really want one of those double crown forks for the frame I just picked up for ski biking.

[@northwestmountainbikeaddic6874]

Thanks you for answering my question!!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

You are welcome.

[@brandihodges9548]

Definitely need to re-score the dual crown since it's different than what you are use to. Where is that jump line at (I think you've mentioned Hot Spring previously).

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

May be a re-score job, just thinking it may be on a straight steerer, still dont like the adapter......But the jump line is called the Bluejay, check it out. When you come down we will hit it for sure, its pretty sweet. You can circle back on the fireroad and session it allday! Or just ride it all the way down. Its on the East side of the map:)

[@robert50173]

My Bucklos 32 straight tube has been holding up well since Sept 2021 to hard trail riding. Fwiw, I am 180 lbs.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

That's great man, I am glad to hear the Bucklos is doing well, we liked ours a lot. Not bad for the money.

[@allocke9446]

Always here even if I don't comment. Great vid. I was lmao about the $5 and $10 reimbursement. Had a nice ride yesterday. I think that my bottom bracket is 'going'. LOL Re: Measure from the base.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Measure from base always and order you an IXF!!!

[@Junnys_Bicycle_Hoard]

Ha I knew you would change those bars off the Ledge. 😉

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

YOU CALLED IT!!

[@phils4800]

hey can you put the himalo dh fork on your fullsuspension bike? I've been waiting for the vid

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

I was trying to get The Tick to put them on the Ledge X1, but he likes the Lutu on there. Which one of our full suspension bikes were you hoping we would put them on?

[@jackanddan]

Hell no…..get what you pay for!! Great video guys

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

AGREED!! 👍👍

[@EBikeBuilder_]

My favorite fork is the one that "sounds like its messin' itself" 🤣

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣💩

[@danboyes7477]

Nice round up, some very interesting and scientific points 😂. One thing that that strikes me is how bad some of the aftercare is on these products, I mean having to barter over a refund! They miss sold you a fork, a refund should've been a given. Jeremiah, that footage of you pumping up the fork....... Please no 😂 Great video as always guys, take care 😎🍻👍

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA!! Cmon Dan, I thought you were a fan of the intense scenes! LOL But really man it was so fun to film and FINALLY give an update!! Thanks Dan, see ya soon:P

Thank you so much Carlos, that is awesome you are enjoying them!!

[@chrisk9351]

Well after communication with my manager, might as well had just made a donation to the human fund, lol, I'll say that was another great episode! Definitely redo the scoring for the DH.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA! Thanks Chris, the "manager" was great huh?? Always gotta ask the manager! May just re-do the HIMALOOOO

[@davidmckenzie4092]

Hi guys Really like your honest reviews that you do. I own a Bucklos and a Lutu fork. Just like you, I ride and modify my bikes on a budget. I get most of the benefits without spending a small fortune Looking forward to the next vid Thanks

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well David thank you for finding us brother, so glad you did. We enjoy this very much and the best way is the Affordable one!! LOL Thanks for the support and we hope to see ya next week:)

[@denislitisha7136]

True DH forks are minimum 170mm travel. Also current DH forks use straight steer tubes.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well.....The steerer tube is straight???🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

[@dbfcrell8300]

My ZTZ is holding up awesome, but I don't do trail riding. Right now my bike is in my stand stored for winter with 0 psi in the fork. I have no doubt it'll hold air next spring and give me another year of cushy fat bike ride.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well thats great man, hopefully ti stays that way:) HEALTHY AND HAPPY!

[@allenncrystalking8517]

Merry Christmas guys. Hope ya have a great one

Maybe a giveaway o those bars? 😏

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks BM, we also liked sticking them into the vid.

[@wesdavies2455]

Sometimes you can buy a extension or adapter for the pump to get into the air valve?…. 👍🏼🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

I am not too sure??

[@petemitchell6788]

Too bad ZTZ customer service ghosted you guys. Lil tip for Wolf, try manually selecting the auto-focus block on one side of your lens so you can have Tick jumping into the frame instead of centered. It gives a sense of motion as opposed to stopping motion (great for candid portraits). With a beautiful background you can use this same technique with a slower shutter speed and panning to get some motion blur while keeping Tick sharp as a tack. After a few attempts you’ll be both surprised and impressed with the sense of speed your photos convey.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man it is too bad, especially when they sent us the fork! LOL I will be sure thay Wolfman reads this as well, o think he was going for height but I am no photographer 😉

[@Yeetmaster900]

I bought a bucklos 32 fork on Amazon. States it has 120mm travel it has around 95mm

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Oooh! Man send that seller a message!!🤬🤬

[@shadyhazza]

with the himalos, have you asked the manufacturer about that concern with the clamping? i dunno much about DH forks, but i've seen sam pilgrim install enough of them with a brick to know they're press fit. which would explain the lack of any gap

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man we have not asked, if they were sent to us and we did not buy them maybe we would have. Barring if Himalo would want any feedback, but not a bad idea.....

[@mikemoake6863]

Nice job the reviews are awesome. Not all us can afford Fox Forks so it is nice to see where to spend the money. Now if I could just find one of those XFUSION forks in stock.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man Mike, thank you for the comment:) Now if we could find them in stock we would BUY THEM ALL!! LOL Man they are some pretty legit forks Mike. Well thanks again and it was a fun test, see ya TUESDAY!

[@slothsquatch5023]

What a trip down memory lane! I'm interested to see what your thoughts are on the foamies.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

😄😄😁 hell yeah man, oh and the foamies are now on the LEDGEX1!!!

[@brianjohnston5960]

Himalooo definitely needs re-test. I'm with you on ZTZ's. I have the Cheetahs on my Aggressor Pro. For the money they're better than the pogo sticks you get from factory but not as good as the XM Bucklos. Then again Bucklos was 70 dollars more.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

True......The himalo may get a re-test but dude them ZTZ"S are dry!! LOL Bucklos aint bad at all

[@BerserkerNick]

I'm a little iffy on all three of those forks, it's like trying to trust a fart on chilli day

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

WHAT?? HA HA!!! Perfect description BERSERKER!! Dont wanna celebrate till its all done! HA HA

[@scottmasker4389]

Glad you got the refund. Thanks for the vid. Makes me wonder if worth buying. I use only premium forks. These lutu and bucklos are sketchy

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

You are welcome and thank you for watching! Glad someone who does not ride these forks, can still watch and enjoy. Thank you

[@UnformedLump]

Funny how much hate the himalo fork gets lol I for one cant wait to get mine

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

It is very funny man:) They are not bad, just sketchy!

[@Yeetmaster900]

So I've been upgrading my Schwinn boundary. Decided to buy the bucklos fork mentioned in my other comment and didn't pay attention to the axle and it ended up being 15x100 which is fine but meant I needed to order a wheel. Ordered the nukeproof neutron 2 and it's currently in Great Britain 🇬🇧. I ordered funn upper and lower headsets and installed the fork. Thinking about buying schwable nobby nic front and rear tires Also thinking about getting microshifts advent x 10spd setup

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Damn man, when you get done sounds like you will have a BEAST!! Oh and checkout Schwalbe Rocket Rons!!

[@stunttlr]

I wish you would have shown your rating board. Hard to see while watching on a phone. Actively searching for a fork for my aggressor pro.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man we have several videos that we rate forks and show the board. Here are a few and the original so you understand our ratings. Oh and if you are looking for a good fork for the GT Aggressor Pro that's in stock and maybe a headset and other stuff, here you go. Risk 34MM Headset: amzn.to/3fW5o60 Suntour Epixon Epicon: ebay.us/4tCoKz You don't need these but they are a nice upgrade.

[@alejandrobrownloucity1783]

I think I might go with the Bucklos, but I'm pretty split. The ZTZ has great reviews but you all said it was ok-ish. And the Bucklos had mixed reviews, but you all said that it was great. Tell me what you think, or if I should go to a bike ship to work it out.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well bike shop should shy away from it, so if you want a expensive fork go there. Not saying it's a bad thing just most bike shops will tell you not to to with this lineup. I like the bucklos stuff pretty good, they have held up so far.

[@alejandrobrownloucity1783]

[@ferguson8143]

Yes to the redo of thr triple tree forks and yes again to if i would buy them I actually have them on order to me right now. I'm with you on the misinformation on the travel and not no frogs hair different and if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass every time he hopped and good looking out on telling them they should change it

Redo possibly! May re-score them:) And let us know how you like them man, curious on your thoughts. Not a bad fork just a a sketchy one:0

[@fernandopimentel1176]

Ok first of all, great video! Good to see that you guys did some more tinkering on those forks and also contacted those shady companies 😁and got some feed back. Second, WTF is going on with this one video a week shit! I need my two Wolf Tick videos a week back! The week isn’t complete without the Friday video come on boys. 😳😰🍻

[@Aquarium1992]

I’m a new subscriber! Love y’all’s videos and they they are budget based mostly. I currently run a Rocky Mountain fusion 30 with an XCR 32 LOR 29” fork. What do you guys think of that fork vs the rock shox Judy silver TK

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hey Michael. Thanks for subbing and welcome to the #wolfticknation!! Now the fork you speak of....I was not a huge fan of it, it seemed a little heavier than usual but so did the rockshox, of i had to choose i would go for the silver man, it's a great looking tough fork. But remember the stanchions are a puny 30mm, that's the only big negative for me...

[@Aquarium1992]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yeah I just ended up upgrading to a dropper post and tubeless tires. Now I run a continental cross king rear and trail king front. I need to get new bars most likely because I’m leaning forward quite a bit. They are only a 9 degree rise. Thank you for the reply man. Stay safe and good riding!

[@purplegarage05]

Hey guys great vid as always. Im actually looking to replace the ztz on my gt sometime soon they just arent cutting it anymore, so I've been looking at either a manitou markor or suntour raidon which do you think I should go for?

[@dangerous8333]

That's a bummer man... Buy once, cry once. A fork takes too much of a beating for me to skimp out on it. Let this be a lesson to others. The best middle of the road fork is the z2 bomber. Either that or get a used RockShox and rebuild it.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

For everyone else yes, or not?? But this being a budget channel we gotta show them budget forks and show what to expect Dan!! :)

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

@Dan Gerous I believe Budget_MTB has had those forks for close to two years. I say $100 bucks or so for 2 years of service ain't too bad, especially if that's all you can afford at the time. It's better to be riding and be under biked than waiting around for a better bike. Let that set in for a minute😆.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

@Budget_MTB They are both a big upgrade, but don't forget the Judy's for $170!! The Judy's are a hard one to beat for the price as well.

[@turtlecrawford6468]

I have 2 bucklos forks and I'm happy with both. And my ltwoo 11 sp is working good. The only thing I haven't liked that you guys have is Jessica headsets. I'm with Jason on that one. Always measure from the base 😂

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man YES AND YES!! LOL We wanna try and put it on the Hyper Explorer

[@xblackaquamanx8070]

The himalo sketches me out with the oil it is leaking ... if like Rockshox there is not much in there to begin with and it looks like most leaked out in shipping ... would advise a negative on running them (Tick we like to keep you around in one piece even though you keep try harding on your landings)....

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣 HA HA HA!! SEND IT SON:) Himalo is definitely full of SKETCH!!

[@skunkdenmtb]

I’m also interested in the Himalo rescore simply to have the updated, more accurate review to check out if needed for future reference. Also still torn between which fork I should go with for my Ledge x1. Trying to keep it as close to the budget side as possible due to disability, but would also like to have the best air fork I can get, considering I won’t be able to buy multiples on my funding. Still on stock wheels, so still quick release non-boost. Would go with that LUTU, but I’m still on QR. got any recommendations?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

If you can find the RockShox Judy Silver TK tapered either 100mm or 120mm for $170ish We would say get it. Other than that you would probably have to go more money for anything real dependable. There is always the Manitou Markhor for around 280ish. Keep us updated on what you go with.

[@clive1248]

Great video about forks I agree with you about if said 140 you should get what you pay for very true if I was going for one I would go for the one on the lege giggling in fear did make me laugh out loud very funny 👍

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA we are a mess man, the forks are very nice for the price and style but I would love to feel them at 140mm

[@mtbboy1993]

Real DH forks have two bolts on each clamp. And has direct mount stem mounting. These days forks have about twice as big stansions. Just to name few examples: Fox/Marzocchi has 40mm Rockshox has 35mm.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks a bunch man, we cannot stand the shenanigans 🙄

[@dangerous8333]

I've been reading a lot about people not being happy in the long run with these budget forks. I knew that would happen. Forks take a beating on mountain bikes. Just not something you should skimp out on. This is my conclusion on forks. If you're 180 lb or less you can MAYBE get away with a budget fork depending on how you ride. If you're over 180 and intend to do ANY jumping. You'll just have to pay more if you want it to last.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

We always tell people to go with the bigger names if possible and definitely if they plan on jumping. I would say about 80% of the people watching our channel and channels like it are going to be good with most any fork. The Tick only weighs 150lbs but hits rock gardens going 20mph and getting 12 to 15 feet of air on these forks to see what will happen. Most people that have the ability to do these things usually spend a little more on their bikes. Good findings for the most part👍 Thanks Dan

[@Mntbkr64]

After watching this video, I went and measured the "120mm" Lutu I purchased for the Axum. The total stanchion length was 114mm and the usable length was less than 100mm. My suspicion is that these specs are represented by the same people who misrepresent their male part proportions to women they date and perhaps, marry. Sure, we were disappointed with the fork length, but think about some poor woman on her wedding night, just married, to the Lutu salesperson. I still like my Lutu fork, but I'm not married to it. It has 32mm Stanchions, and as long as it takes me out to dinner once in a while, I will continue dating it.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA HA!! BOB, man how long does it take to have these witty insane coments?? LOL This one was so clever!!! LMFAO HA HA HA, we all have a little Lutu salesperson in us right??

[@Wannaridebikes]

Give it a fair. Re score now that you at least understand the sketchiness of the fork. I’m still using them zoom breaks. I got two sets and both are very different. I think you guys should do a video. Get two the same item from different places. And see what is different. Simply because I got my two set of zooms and both are very different

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Gotcha man, thanks wanna ride bikes.

Great review guys. I did find it strange that the company just continued to offer a discount instead of acknowledging or fixing the issue with the 140mm fork travel. Especially since the issue could have been on the other end where it was too much (147 or 150mm) which could still be a problem for some people. Just shows lack of control in their process. But I’m hungry now after all the Waffle House talk. I need to get the All-Star breakfast now!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

GO GET IT ASAP!! SMOTHERED AND COVERED WILLIAM!! HA HA HA Much love brother:) We do agree, a little sketchy on the refund/warranty?? Oh well at least we got some sort of money back!

Bought that lutu 32. The steerer tube was off center on the crown and it was supposed to be 120mm ad advertised amd it was only 100mm....sent it back the next day. These forks should not be sold period. Sorry guys....

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man I feel ya, we had the same experience with the 140mm lutus. Don't be sorry, we don't design them 🤣 what did you go with??

[@michaelmitchell5909]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks for responding love the channel!....so I had a 2009 marzocchi 55 tst micro that a had from back then. I used to have a rc3 ti but that got sold on a bike. So I'm stuck with a mediocre air fork!. That wasn't marzocchis best air fork. Could I swap that out for a better cartridge?....or a rc3 cartridge?

[@yinghamlyn-chen2]

Can you show what to type to get a free fork for a review

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man Company's contact us, we don't have to contact them...

[@pewpewbbqs]

Julianna Pena... .AND NEW!!!! :O! I'm not a betting man... something told me just to put a hundo on that fight in case shit happened... I didn't put $$ on it (not that I had it) but shit did happen haha

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Crazy!!! I'm happy for her for sure and I felt like it would be a good fight but in no way would I have thought it would have ended that way.

[@marathonrunner715]

Noone would have bought that 140mm fork if it only listed as having 120mm of travel so the $5 irrelevant. ZTZ can get rucked too with that shipping response. I'm leaving the stock forks on the aggressor until they blow out through the bottom straight through the earth up someones dupa on the other side of the globe

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA HA!! So you are not going to upgrade the forks anytime soon huh?? LOL

[@chrishorbatt3504]

$5 are you kidding me? Give me my money back!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@more_beans_mr_taggart4057]

What kind of customer service is that from lutu. "We'll give you $20"? WTF

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

DUDE!!!! THEY NEED SOME LESSONS FROM MICROSHIFT!

[@-humveehoove-6106]

Pls do a rescore

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

I do think we are going to adjust the penalty and maybe the bigs(soaks it up factor). Stay tuned👍

[@copperstatefiremenpodcast]

I purchased the ztz for my hardtail and it’s complete garbage!! Bottoms out all the time at 120lbs of air even. The whole thing bends I’m 220lbs doesn’t work.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Dang, I guess we didn't have it so bad after all🤣. I'm going to guess they didn't give any customer service. That sucks man.

[@mtbboy1993]

I don't trust any of these forks the ymighy even come from same factory some ordered one but got the other, like Kevcentral. Only difference seems to be the stickers. Of course there are different versions of the forks but they all are rebranded in all of the versions. And quality varies on both brands. Some forks crack in the lowers, some don't fully compress due to bad tolerance sin dropouts so when you out the wheel on the fork does not work. I am also not surprised by the response from ZTZ. I would not go to any shop, or buy from a online retailer selling junk like this. No serious retailer sells it.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Understandable:)

[@stephenmurray2389]

First comment. Merry Christmas Guys

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Almost🥈haha Thanks man and Merry Christmas to you🎄

[@mrupholsteryman]

I must be really cheap... I would have kept the forks and the money...and rode them til they broke...themselves or me... Maybe I have a slight problem with testing things as I'm still riding a 26 hardtail with a cracked headtube. HAHA!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Dam Jeffrey you sound HARDCORE!! LOL Man please wear a mouthpiece as well as a full face when riding!! You are making me giggle again:P

[@Freebird_67]

Typical Chinese business practices. I just wish we could get American Made REAL STEEL parts that are made with care and built to last. I'd pay triple for that.

[@zonr3709]

Typical seller from shenzhen , I mean there are some honest seller , but this “LUTU” kind , they are the worst , unprofessional & irresponsible . Thankyou guys for rule out these brand for people.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thank you for understanding why we do what we do. Much love man
