Are threadless known to be weaker in 1" diameter? Is the shim much of a problem to deal with?


The guy who I got the bike from was reasonably knowledgeable and he didn't seem too concerned about the condition of the fork. He had some work done on it at a reputable store and didn't mention if they said anything about the condition of the fork either.

Maybe the original fork isn't in as bad a condition as I think.
