Made the biggest mistake today
A couple days ago, I read an add and someone was selling a 04 DJ3 for 200 bucks Canadian. But this fork was different. It had Z150 lowers and Z150 internals. Only had DJ3 uppers. This fork was completely new so I sprung at it rigth away.
Well I got it today and it turns out the steerer is a bit shorter then what I expected. I forgot to ask how long the steerer was.
Lesson learned.

The fork is definetly an improvemnt over the mxcomp I was running on the cowan. I think i am gonna be happy with my new dj3/Z150.

For sure I am up for a ride. Must get a new stem first. Stripped the bolt on my blockhead DH. Had to use a power drill and hacksaw to get it off. Ill post pics of the carnage.
