Also, I want to ask how you guys post photos on this sight. I thought that I had done so but it seems not. If it can be easily explained, thanks.

You did post photos. Two of them. I looked at both.

Road tires constantly pick up rocks and throw them against the fork crown. You should see my fork crown. 2000 miles and it's got scratches all over the inside like that.
