you know what would look even better, if you pained the forks white and made it match the frame with shaprie and did the same to the wheels

I dont think you should do the rims like that. Thatd be too much. The only things I would change would be white cranks and pedals, otherwise, you have a perfect bike.

Super low BB.

Those Black Market forks are more suited for a 24" BMX bike rather than an MTB.

+ 1

radrider (Jun 22, 2011 at 18:29)

How so. These forks even with a 26" wheel still has added length so it still has same geo as with suspension fork. Bb hieght is perfect

+ 1

we-are-138 (Jun 22, 2011 at 18:46)

Well, those forks only come in 414MM or 395MM axle to crown. A set of 80mm travel suspension forks sit at 460mm axle to crown. This is both Marzocchi and Fox. Most frames (including the Riot) were built around a 480mm fork (or 100mm travel). That's why the BB is so low on your ride, but if you like it and are comfortable then there's no issue. I ran one for a day and sold it off first thing. I went back to the DMR Trailblade2 because it's 445mm Axle to crown which is the closest rigid fork currently on the market to the same geo as an 80mm travel suspension fork. It's actually the equivalent to 65mm travel on a suspension fork. Relatively speaking, the 414mm Tech9 would be the equiv of a 35mm travel fork, and the 395mm Tech9 would be the same as a 60mm travel fork.

It;s all good, different riders have different preferences. No hate here, and the bike looks sick man!
