Re: Greatest Picture Of All Time!
PLEASE elaborate... what exactly am i keeping tight? the pinch bolts? the 10mm allen in the bottom?!?!
Thanks roger... I love to roll stoppies so im on the front wheel quite a bit, this is a bit scary to see...
Im thinking a fork swap is in my future... to another brand...

Re: Greatest Picture Of All Time!
Ok Im with LEGION here. What exactly am I keeping tight?
I broke one but it broke at the leg. I came down from a wheelie and my bike was smoking and it was from the fork fluid that dumped out. Thank god I didnt eat ****. It scares the **** out of me to think that it could happen again. As far as I know the legs are machined on from the factory so theres no way to tighten them. When they go they go. Both my forks are leaking from the bottom now and are a little loose. What do I tighten to prevent this? COME ON SOMEONE HAS TO KNOW. TELL ME BEFORE THEY BREAK AGAIN.
