heres my buddies fork, seems that it was grinded down to fit 23c, so may be it was originally designed for 22c or 20c?



thanks
That's fairly typical treatment for a track fork -- cut the blades really short, then take a half-round mill ******* to the bottom of the crown to get clearance for the tire.

Interesting. It appears the blog software doesn't like the word B A S T A R D even though that is the proper name for this particular tool.
