yeah i kinda figured it would be more work than it's worth....
the fork is at the co-op lower end suntour so it's not like I bought it or anything...we're allowed ton swap whatever parts (as long as we do volunteer work too).. and I might be able to find another bike with a 1 1/8" fork that I can cannibalize there....actually I already have my eye on one...i just need to make sure it's a 1 1/8"
