For FORKS-sake

[Guest agteros]

Just a small post to clear up some TECHNICAL DETAILS FOR MTB DUMMIES 101:

 

FORK: Large two pronged [forked !!] object found between FRONT wheel and the NUT that holds the Handle Bar.

(Unless you ride a Cannondale - in which case one whole side is missing)

Can be found on both FULL SUS and HARDTAIL MTB species.

 

SHOCK: A small tube shaped object connecting the bum end [seat] of the bike to the REAR wheel area. Making for more comfortable 75+ km rides.

NOT found on HARDTAIL MTB species.

 

Hope that clears up the issue and makes for more accurate SEARCH options.

 

PS: For those who have never ridden a LEFTIE - having only a single 'prong' to your FORK makes it really difficult to fix a front tyre flat - STAY AWAY !

 

MORE on UPPERS, LOWERS and STANCHIONS to follow.

 

This is a total shock to me

Kinda like a crabon seet post

[Face Plant]

if you were in the western cape i would seriously have have thought that your posts were due to a "tik" addiction Drongo, but looking at your Avatar pic i have to deduce that your posts are a result of a concusion instead!

Drongo, you are way too familiar with the way things happen here.....

 

You have either just been released from an asylum, or you are an old hand at cycling...

 

In any case, welcome and an awesome way to enter....keep it up, the last three days we have not had a crapkicker thread

I am very glad to see, based on what I can deduce from your avatar that you have been similarly released. When!!??

 

FYI - All old hands at cycling have been released from asylums. Some recently. I shall have to do a site search back three days...now how to?

 

( pray tell - what the hell is an accordion? )

[DaLoCo]

I think an accordion was something they used in driving out demons....you know the saying about a kingdom divided

 

BTW, you won't find anything in search...the mod removed some 3 pages on a bridge building thread
