    Date Reviewed: August 3, 2007
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $32.00
    Purchased At:hurricane
    Strengths:its blue and it has 20mm ish hole for the thru axle.
    Weaknesses:the legs are to thin, not regular fork thikness, doesn't work with thule clamp down bike racks, this was very dissapointing for me. Also it cost me $3 more to buy it from hurricane then it was at the local bike store which i didn't relise carried it till it was to late. There is a pretty rough grove inside where the axle goes, guess it could mar up the axle over time, or do nothing?
    Similar Products Used:non
    Bike Setup:turner 5 spot, pike 454 air u turn.
    Bottom Line:get it if you need it and don't have a thule bike rack. I don't know why they didn't make the legs normal fork thickness.

    Strengths:Holds yer fork real tight. oh yea....

    Bottom Line:This thing is sweet and mine is blue. blue is such a rad color and if you take a knife you can cut the P off the end of FORK UP and it will say FORK U, then you can laugh about it with your friends and make out with hot chicks.

    Strengths:Can now carry my bike with a regular fork mount rack. My friends can drive!!!!!
    Weaknesses:None
    Similar Products Used:Nothing else like it.
    Bike Setup:RS Boxxer
    Bottom Line:This is the perfect product for any one who has a fork that will not work with fork mount racks. You can now carry your bike on a roof rack without worry. You will not have to drive every time because your buddies can't take your biek. This is a simple product that makes a huge difference in the simple task of transporting a bike.

    Bottom Line:
    I have a Marzocchi Monster T fork,Which is a great fork,The only problem I had was transporting my bike(the fork has a thru-axle and does not fit onto a rack)that was until a friend suggested that I get a Fork up.The Fork up is a device that after removing the front wheel you put the Fork up between the dropouts reinstall the axle and tightening the bolts it is ready to mount on a fork mounted rack.The Fork up has faux dropouts that fit any rack,it also can rotate over a 100 degrees so that if your transporting a couple of bikes they can be staggered for handlebar clearance.This is a great prouduct that I would recommend to anybody who has a thru-axle fork...5 chiles for this one!
