Are fork braces useful?
On the street, riders have found a great improvement in handling by adding a fork brace. The bike tracks much better through turns. Off road, feelings are mixed. While it does seem to keep the front end from wallowing so much in sand, and prevent it from picking up other lines, it also causes every bump to be transmitted to the handlebars, rather than be absorbed by fork flex. Fork braces are available from Happy Trails, Arrowhead, Dual Star, Kytech, Scott Summers and others.
