Goofed up
The other day I bought a rebuilt RS Duke fork of Craigs for cheap to use on a beater mtb I'm building. When I was installing it it didn't have brake studs installed. Found a set in the junk box. First one goes in fine, second balks with about one turn to go. Lean on it just a bit and the entire boss breaks off. Turns out the hole wasn't drilled quite deep enough and it bottomed out. Previous owner used disks. Now I figure I've got to turn this bike into a mullet. More $ into what was supposed to be a cheap bike. The broken section looks ugly so I grab the JB Weld and glue it back on. No way I'm riding this, right? I know JB is strong but all I can imagine is it letting go, brake arm swinging into front wheel, going down hard.
