Worked fantastically for me…until the chain got gritty. Then it chewed up my frame, got stuck and bent, oh and it trashed the chain.

Apart from that it’s a really good idea. :twisted:

Yeah, defo doing it. £250 ish gets new DT steerer/stanchion assembly, new bushes and upgraded internals. Only the lovely carbon lowers will be original methinks :-)

I consider this guy to be an aluminium welding god. He repaired a cracked seat/top tube on my full suss 12 months ago.

Considering that they’ve been sitting on a shelf for 5 years everything still works when I do the scientific, pushing down on the steerer test. Just the worn out anodising problem.

I would put one of those 9mm superstar q/r’s on.

But even with that I’m still tempted!

Left a message with Fork English. It’s them or Fox Vans…

Ta for that, will do :-)

Can’t go wrong!

We’ve been doing it for so long now, that I often forget wether a route was done on a Sunday morning or Thursday night. Makes little difference once you’ve “tuned in”

I’ve got one to sell if you’re interested. Fox float r, off an ’06 Heckler!

Has the “New” one still got those daft bottle mounts on the underside?

“stuartlangwilson is that a crack in the first pic of your mate’s Hecklers? My old one cracked in the same place.”

Yeah, and mine too…

That would really help, cheers!
