Hi Chase How did you get that screw in the fork crown out? Mine seems to be welded/brazed in place. I don't want to have to drill through the whole screw....
Cheers

Where you need to drill is all aluminum anyway - so you don't have the potential problems carbon fiber might have. It was a bit tricky initially because Bianchi put a screw in the fork where you break will mount which you have to remove. Other than that - it was easy and I've had no problems at all and I ride it on the road. I'll post a pic when I can.
