Eddy Gordo Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 So I’m sending the fork off to have the steerer tube replaced. A new fork will be nice but I’d rather be using my cash for other things now. I get a bot naar if I think about spending more money on this build. Thanks for all the advice guys I appreciate it. I’m going to build it up anyway this weekend and then just put it in it’s bag till the fork comes back.Hopefully that doesnt take too long. You gonna love the way it rides!!
Pieter1 Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Hopefully that doesnt take too long. You gonna love the way it rides!!G’s this fork is beginning to be a headache. Shipping with repairs will be just over 7k. GG are offering me some discount on a new fork so I might as well sell this one and buy a new one. So if anyone is keen on a 2018 OEM 27.5 170mm Lyric RC with a 190mm steerer let me know.Edit: Thanks Hairy. Edited January 15, 2020 by Pieter1

Will try sell it this side first. Shipping to SA is 2.5k. Will browse the classifieds and see if shipping costs still make it worth it. Hairy and Eddy Gordo 2

Pieter1 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 what happened to the shorty fork?It’s in the classifieds... Was cheaper to buy a new fork than to send shorty for a penoplasty. Hairy and Eddy Gordo 2

Pieter1 Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 again .... introduce the students to force ... aka torque specs needed when bolting parts to the bike and get the build done.I’m afraid all they will learn is afrikaans floekwoorde at this stage. I cant get these flipping headset cups flush.
