Find a builder who would be interested in taking this job
and modifying my fork.
If you or any of you are interested, please PM me with
email so we can get into more detail. I really do want to do
this.
Just read the whole thread and let's see if I have this right:
-we have a 26 yr old fork that has been ridden quite a few miles..often times with an extra load
-at some point in the past, the blades were bent backward to reduce the rake/offset
-now you want to bend the blades the other way again and go past the original offset
See the main problem here? I think a builder would be crazy to put his rep (and your teeth) on the line and try this.
New fork time.
