I posted this because it seems like people regularly ask for recommendations for re-raking forks. John's price is more than reasonable, $20 plus shipping.
Check with John to see if that's for re-raking. Raking individual fork blades for production use (which I think is what the $20 gets you) is a lot easier than reraking an existing fork. But even at $10-20 more, it's still pretty reasonable vs buying a new fork, or entirely new bike.
