Used an old tube today to protect the forks. Despite no damage in today's fully loaded stress trial, doubled the layers beneath the clamps.

Thanks for the caution, better to consider advice than to screw it up.

Funny moment in the test: downhill into an intersection and saw the pothole late.... Partially jumped and almost avoided it. The two full 2L bottles shot upwards like a pair of roman candles and rolled down the street! I'm laughing while retrieving. Just another engineering mod for tomorrow..
