That line on the side of the rock, Goddamn crazy stuff! Super impressed with how stiff they are, props on getting it done! Get the carbon ones done next??
Hey Ali Clarkson! Glad to see your mad engineering experiments work so well! Total diy fork victory! Check your local fork service shop for scratched Kashima uppers! For your purposes scratches shouldn't matter! Ride ride ride!
OMG the shot at about 3:55 before you hop up to do the gap looks like the weirdest vertigo inducing fall ever. Whatever angle the rock is to your left is perfect to make it look like you’re falling forwards😮
Ali, wanna say thank you for mentioning Lucy at IndiBike she's amazing! Made some Die-Cuts for my BMXycle, had some issues with the posties, no problems she sorted ASAP. Properly awesome person. That said, I agree with some of the comments, get that Cannandale finished off! I bet you've got the decals already!
I've ridden enough MTB to be utterly impressed. Even though I would never ride something like Whistler A-line at least it looks like a trail, but you are riding rocks that I never imagined a bicycle could ever traverse.
Ali asked if everyone had a brilliant week Yes and no for me no I haven’t had a good week because I couldn’t ride my DH bike due to the wind I don’t think hitting big stair caps in wind is advisable Yes I got to ride my JB haven’t ridden that in ages it’s a very different way of Riding to a DH bike something different and at 11:13 Ali mentioned I don’t know what move that is how about calling it the Clarkson
Congrats with your forks. Old quarries are awesome, when I rode mototrials it was one of my clubs best courses, as you could set may sections there, as long as you had permission to use the area. Great content Ali, the quarry isnt natural, but the rocks give it that dimension and feel. Hope we see more of you riding there.
You are freakin NASTY my man. This was a joy to watch! I've never seen trials done in this setting. It was so cool to see your plan out your routes and experiment. Also, great job on the fork!
How is your neck holding up ? Really nice riding so I hope the neck is better now. Also what are the advantages of those forks over what you usually use ? Aside from the cool factor of riding something you made yourself of course.
That was fun Ali. Your forks are doing great. To be honest I thought they would break straight off, but I was wrong. You always amaze me with your skill and agility. There was that last bit on the final section where I hoped you would hop, from the ledge you were balancing on, up to tail. The hook was cool, it just surprised me. Was it too high to go to tail Ali? Sometimes in video's we can't see the reality. Thank you again for another fantastic show. Keep up the great work Sir. Cheers - M
could a star nut be installed in the bottom of the fork legs then Allen bolt up through the modified fork lowers just for little extra keep it togetherness. love your vids man! good times!
I think this idea is good, but you should try to achieve a press fit or near press fit. You could potentially hand ream the holes bigger and press in a bigger stanchion tube tube. However, reamers of that size can be expensive. You should invest in a shop press like the one you used in a bike shop. They are quite affordable and useful for many things; maybe even more useful than the now dead block of wood. A second hand drill press would also be very handy too for your various forms of tinkering. You could also use steel shim stock of the proper thickness with a higher quality, slow setting epoxy. Automotive body panel adhesive comes to mind. This would achieve a joint that is many times stronger. You might also be able to get a carbon tube to work by inserting aluminum tubes inside at the ends. This interests me quite a lot because I fitted modern forks and shock to a 1985 Yamaha xt350 motorbike with machining and a press. It cost 10% of what a custom suspension setup would run and the results are breathtaking. So happy I committed to that project.
I find it irritating that quality 1-1/8" chrome moly forks, that were common on late 90s mtb's, are not really available. Your idea seems like a decent work around and it recycles worn out suspension forks that everybody has. Quality rigid forks need a comeback, the china crap suspension forks fitted to sub $1000 bikes can't handle any real mtb trail or trials duties.
prob would be better off to use a long-cure epoxy, or even just JB Weld instead of the 5 minute stuff you used to prevent that kind of slip-out you had. Still, I'm gonna be doing one of these forks soon. I need something good for my Cannondale
You should fix those carbon ones. Just need to find a better shim than a coke can. Can you not buy a DIY carbon wrap kit just to make the ends wider? Then again, it'll probably cost more than it's worth.
The silver stem you've been running. Was that a hope XC model stem? I keep looking for one for my custom cannondale trials build but cant find any evidence of a high rise version having been made. A very enjoyable watch Ali, and some very unique signature Clarkson moves
Shame about carbon forks. If you try again get some unimpregnated ( ow err!) Carbon fibre and chop it up into tiny strands. Mix this with the epoxy and key both surfaces.
I have bought forks that were essentially the same concept as the forks you've made but I never pushed them that hard. You're running twin discs, is that altering your riding style?
@@Ali_Clarkson with a coke can type shim, if the interference fit is there, no glue should be needed. A light quantity of lube may even help prevent stresses or wrinkling when the pressure is applied- metal to metal at the correct load is strongest because the materials can and do change size when placed under different thermal and mechanical conditions. Properly cured epoxy as a sort of thread-lock would enable a CNC crown to be installed onto a stanchion, especially if baking and thermal contraction was involved, although a splined or threaded tube may be more prone to cracking. With a material like aluminium or titanium welding is considered the strongest bond, although many adhesives can be more precise and easier to handle, and under compression there's no particular advantage in a metal to metal bond, and it may actually cause rather than prevent stresses and cracking / failure of a joint. Coke can shims can last for a decade and give no trouble - cans are super precisely engineered and are a forged material, drinks canning being far bigger than the bicycle industry.

FINISH THE CANNONDALE BUILD!
I’m aiming for next week!
@@Ali_Clarkson surprised you replied to someone shouting at you, dude.
@@MrPlum1282 I hadn’t even noticed it was in caps 😂
Please.
@@Ali_Clarkson I swear my man's just hyped for it, as do I.
11:20 is officially one of the most satisfying clips I’ve ever seen on a bike.

Even on natural terrain, Ali is one of the most stylish riders out there. Loving the tech lines dude!
So good man! You nailed some scary looking lines in this one. Always love it when you get the Hex out on the rocks.

Watching you ride out on rocks and trees always gets me pumped to go ride in the mountains. There were some sweet lines in there!
Awesome to see some natural trials. street all looks the same after a while
I've ridden enough MTB to be utterly impressed. Even though I would never ride something like Whistler A-line at least it looks like a trail, but you are riding rocks that I never imagined a bicycle could ever traverse.
Whenever I have a new home-made rigged thing on my bike I ride tentatively as heck for a very long time before I have any confidence at all.

Some of the best tec riding skills I've seen. Top job Ali. John

Awesome video this week! Next level riding ALI!
I love the challenges you set for yourself Ali. Fantastic. (It's also fun trying to work out the locations of where you are, in some of the videos!)
is it.... Boyleston Quarry ?
Cambusbarron quarry. Just north-west of Falkirk.
Haven't watched the video yet but I'm here to say in advance that if they do snap, they looked great doing it!
Consider roughing up the gluing surfaces next time!
That’s exactly what I did for this one 👍🏻
@@Ali_Clarkson Nice! Also thanks for the wheel building videos! I've built 2 sets thanks to you
The uphill hop onto the rock while rotating was mad ting, at the end of a gnar sequence to begin with
Your best riding yet. Thank you. Welcome back!
How is your neck holding up ? Really nice riding so I hope the neck is better now.

02:20 just about died laughing, we don't use that word here, caught me by surprise 😄
As a mtb rider learning trials,
street is easy compared to natural (in my humble opinion), so respect!
Impressive riding once again!
7:48 was pretty darn epic :D
Incredible, you're such an inspiration, awesome riding, thank you, D

Epic skills, those forks are inspiring you
Though there was no Cat appearance, I still hit Like because those were some crazy rocky lines. Great effort 👏 👍
Been excited to see this!
prob would be better off to use a long-cure epoxy, or even just JB Weld instead of the 5 minute stuff you used to prevent that kind of slip-out you had. Still, I'm gonna be doing one of these forks soon. I need something good for my Cannondale
Phenomenal riding!
Nice glad that didn't snap on that big pointy rock lol hopefully your rope spoke s will take a bit of the stress lol
Love the intro animation!!
Great Skills Dude all round🙂
Update: now at 17:35 and I take back my last comment. This is the definitive most satisfying clip I’ve ever seen on a bike.
You should fix those carbon ones. Just need to find a better shim than a coke can. Can you not buy a DIY carbon wrap kit just to make the ends wider? Then again, it'll probably cost more than it's worth.

With all those hops and precise control, Ali's leg muscles must be harder than diamond 😮
Have you ridden the fork much after this? Howve they held up?? Very cool project, definitely tempting
7:48 fav clip :)
A joy to watch. :)
I think if you compared the reflex time between Ali and a fly they’d be on par
Please go to the quarry again with the comp bike 🙏🏻
That rock line was insane 😳
0:04 looks like your attempt to move the rock didn't work, hmmm guess you will have to jump over it Ali.
I'm sad about carbon ones
Quality riding 👌
You need to go for a ride with Sam Pilgrim, it would be hilarious
I’d wear a gum guard
Hey Ali, building a new street trials bike, would you say it's more important to find a large rear rim or a strong one?
When we getting to see you ride the trail you made
so sick!!
great show 🙂
Shame about carbon forks. If you try again get some unimpregnated ( ow err!) Carbon fibre and chop it up into tiny strands. Mix this with the epoxy and key both surfaces.
Ps. Dont breath any of it in! Most important, mustnt forget.
How many forks did it take to make a fork?
Any update on when we can expect to see you riding the world's hardest trail?
Very sick man:)
Next up on Ali Clarkson channel, building a trials bike out of carbon seat tubes and an old frame 😂😂😂
Even on video it looked Steep, very steep.
Glad these held up
I have bought forks that were essentially the same concept as the forks you've made but I never pushed them that hard. You're running twin discs, is that altering your riding style?
So many times you rode carbon forks, so many times they just broke.
The rock session was like some kind of mountain goat :)
ali could please share me v brake adaptor link
Why is 50 fps standard in the uk?
No gravel bike?
Just had a very important delivery regarding that…next week maybe?!
@@Ali_Clarkson oh okay 🙂
2:30 definitely looks steep even at that angle
Very Scenic area
It's a shame the carbon fork broke, it looked mint.
Were you comfortable enough with your homemade fork to not have your inspired fork in the van?
I was!
11:27 absolutely ridiculous
Try night school engineering course
16:45 Kinda cool? Na man that was cool as fek :)
I haven't seen this kind of sexy rock riding in a Lonnnnnnng time! STYLIN !
👌🤙
Double sided tape with no interference fit was a crap design feature.
That wasn’t the bit that failed 😋

مرحبا متابعك من العراق
Hi Ali would you be up for a collaboration 👍
The issue with a fork is that its strong... until its NOT
🤯
2nd...woohoo
I think you squeezed all the glue out. That fit was too tight.
This fork is 💩, many times on 💩, need fox 36 on 100mm and riding.
Don’t look fun to me that kind of riding, I bet your bike doesn’t last long, get GAS GAS out
11:20 😳😳😳
