Both dropouts have gone in exactley the same place so.....
given the condition these are in would you ride on them as they are, use for a show pony only, find someone to weld and finish for me just to be certain???

Cheers

Post by: Peter J on June 26, 2012, 07:01 PM: If you ride em make sure your booked into the dentist the following day :'(

That looks like a stress fracture ???

Which would make me think its had a heavy landing at some point :-\

For peace of mind I'd have a good look at all the wields/drop outs on the forks and frame :-\

If your going to ride it get the thing dye tested for stress cracks :daumenhoch:

If your going to show it just get the fracture filled :daumenhoch:

Forks.were purchased separate from the frame months ago on ebay...no chance of getting my money back there...bit annoying has I de recall them being listed as straight forks with no cracks or rewelds. So who needs a set of Skyway TA Forks for a carpet queen ????
