I like that. Perhaps if I'm pissed enough about this to spend a couple hundred bucks I'll invest.

Yeah, I'm pretty appalled too. Part of me wonders if this is going to take a class-action law suit to resolve. 10 years is a long time to let a design flaw persist -especially when considering bike...

Agreed. And the fork is chromoly (sp) so I'll likely just hire a welder and add material or swap it out before I'd epoxy it.




I've been kicking this idea around since I bought the bike. I'm...
