anyone know what the difference is between landing gears and landing gear lites?

LG Lites have thinner, lighter tubing . . . for race bikes and minis, etc

thanks for the quick reply, i've just bought a looptail ripper from e-bay and it came with these on, are these lites worth keeping or are the standard landing gears better forks?

Defo worth keeping them . . . I've got two sets . . . one of which is fitted to my looptail Mini Ripper

Cheers

The lites are a good fork gave mine a good thrashing at Hartlepool the other month with no probs. Basically they are the same strength as any 80's race bike fork GT Hutch etc but not quite as strong as normal Landing Gear.

thanks for the replies lads. i've had a look at them on the bike tonight and to me they look a bit skinny. i think i prefer standard landing gears so i might try to trade them in a few days.
