I was thinking of getting a set of these in the future to use on the 1987 performer I found being thrown out a couple weeks back, I was wondering how well these work? or if they slip at all down the forks?
akcuda
yes they do slip
Blue_Max
guess ill just stick to pegs instead then..
Pauly
They don't slip if you tighten them enough... unfortunately 'enough' will deform your fork. Nobody actually uses them any more. Axle pegs are much much more useful.

I dont really think id want to risk deforming the fork, I didnt know they did. thanks for the input
eliu eric
i actually used grip tape for my fork fold downs and they held really good for me

just put some oddesey ones on my newer dyno and they havent sliped and i am a big guy

but if you want to part with the gt fold downs let me know

i have a performer i am trying to put together would make it look better

what eliu said, a little grip tape goes along way. I prefer axel pegs but for good fork hops they are the best...they look good too.

eliu,
87PC just put a NOS set of Blue Framestanders and Fork Stands on ebay for a BIN price of $40 - which I think is decent. take a look - Fork/Frame standers
