Yes, I recommend this product.
Pros: Good value, Good quality, Lightweight, Looks great
I recently bought these forks to replace some old ones. they are really sturdy and they just feel so right. You have massive tyre clearance for a 2.3 if you ever need to go that wide. And for the price, there's not no other forks that I would reccommend. They 're just a good all round pair of bmx forks.

What's the difference between the 7.5 and the7.6?
hi there, with the 7.5fx, you don't get the carbon forks, plus you don't get the tiagra rear derailluer with it, so essentially you're gears wont run as smooth as the 7.6fx.
Hope this helps.

im a begginer would you recommend this bike to me?
I would probably suggest looking a these more relaible brands like wethepeople, subrosa or fit? I think this riot is a little short in length. It's hard to explain but, trust me, I ride a 20.75tt, and it feels perfect.
Seriously, take my word for it.
If you could stress to the £300 mark, you would get a more.
You would get a intergrated headset, smaller gear ratio and it will feel lighter and easier to maintain....
My first bmx was a wethepeople beyond and I learnt everything I know.
Hope this helps.

First road bike F or Z series?
Hello - I have test ridden a F95 and the 54 frame was a good fit. It made me realise though how different road biking is to mountain biking and I will need to get used to the stance.
As a first road would you recommend this bike or the F85/95 series?
Also would the size be the same as an F95?

Hello there, I would defintelty recommed going for the Z series frame. Reason being, it is going to be more comfortable due to the geometry and the raised head angle.
What this means, ultimately, you will feel more upright on the handlebars so you will more easy going on your wrist and on your posture. If you take a look a the F model for the same money, look at geometry. You're going to be getting a straight top tube, which will put lower down across the bike, you will feel more 'strecthed out' across the top tube and you wont feel as comfortable as apose to you being on the Z frame.
I am about 5, 8'', so I would be perfect on the 54cm frame. If its your first road bike, you amy need to get used to the carbon frame, but once you do, you will see the full benefits of going for one, over the alloy frame.
Erh, I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
