To be pedantic: the fork didn't break, the steerer tube did. I can't quite make it out, but is that an ahead conversion on a threaded steerer?

yes you are right, its the steerer tube and not the forks, and yes it is an ahead converter.

... and now you've got no 'nasty weather' bike to get to work on... go on, crack out the Bob Jackson/Raleigh - you can always wash them if they get dirty!! :wacko:;):becool:

was a nice dry warm drive in today :biggrin:

Sharky, you lost the rear part of your mudguard already?
Eh? I hope not... will check at dinner. Bit peeved if I have as I only fitted them last Thursday afternoon and have only been out 4 times with them on since then. ;)

Nice and warm in your car then, was it? Pity you got stuck in traffic and I sailed past in the lovely crisp morning air. :smile::thumbsup::laugh:

it looked like the rear guard was a little short, im sure there is a extension to the guard that comes off easily. I'm sure i warned you about them, sorry if not :S

built a bike last night to ride in on today, its a rather odd hybrid thing with guards and sit up and beg style. Will get some photos of it when I get the dynohub wheel on it.

Nice ride in though :wacko:
