Was hitting my dj's today when I suddenly notices an unreal about of front wheel flex. Not the hub, not anything else on the wheel. So I look at the arch and BOOM a nice crack all the way through.





So then, I guess it's time for a new fork. She was a dj3 110. I'm looking to spend around 200 (probably I'll buy used) and I'd like something shorter travel. Any ideas ?

LOL there's a pretty good thred over on MTBR on MAgnesium fires and how if you get the metal burn hot enough you can dump water on it and the magnesium fire will start to seprate the o2 from the hydrogyn and use them as fuel , basically getting water to ignite :biggrin: always fun !!

PM replied !
