Charge Plug 2012 Forks

[Lonestar]

Not going well.Bike shop hasn't any forks for this (surprise surprise) so are ordering for me.(allegedly)

I've got two bikes and the Brompton...So I'd better keep them in good nick...Either that or it's a mobike or boris bitch.

Just got a phone call so looking good...But what in your experience are the easiest forks to maintain?

Threaded or non threaded?

On my recent experiences I think I may know the answer to this.

I've used both, and both, for me, work equally well. In terms of maintenance, I find that threaded forks have the slight edge, everything comes apart easily and can be quickly regreased. Threadless headsets tend to have cartridge bearings and getting the preload right takes a tad longer, but you're talking a minute or so, adjusting a threaded headset with a screw on top race and lockring I find slightly easier.

On bottom bracket collapsing due to me not realising the problem I decided to overhaul the bike.

Got the new forks.
