And speed bumps on the road. It's bad.

I have no qualms about having to tighten it every week or so because of general pounding it gets, but with the setup the way it is currently I can't adjust it properly. Hopefully the fork isn't damaged too much.....



Haven't hit any curbs, but, see above...
