yeah, but with a month of use?
someone had seen something like this???
thanks guys
we are from brazil, so here the things are a bit diferent.....
maybe we are going to ship the fork to USA!!! thats means 1 - 2 months without fork :mumble:
the guy was going to manual and then the hole thing just separated!!!! :stosh:
our luck is that nothing serius happened...... he just got some scratches on his back!!!!
bu if he was at 40mph? then it was going to be bad, very bad!!!
we are all ery disppointed!!!!

has nothing to do with the amount of use, something in the internals was probably defective. The damper rod/topcap assemblies have been known to be overtightened, if it broke there they might have been cracked from the factory.

Anyways the lowers sliding off has nothing to do with the strength of the fork. I noticed the spring came out, so the upper damping rod broke on that one side at least.
