Hi I have an 04 Drop-off tripple fork with a skewer hub but it seems like when I use my brakes my whole fork seems to flex majorly. Also is that fork suppose to clink when you hit a bump?

Thanks

Check the headset adjustment. Squeeze the front brake, and rock the handlebars. If there is play, try holding the frame then rock the fork itself. That will confirm play in the headset.

I tried that and that solved some of the flex but it seems like the fork legs just are weak or something?

thanks for the tip

With the amount of leverage of that sized fork and no 20mm axel there will be flex near the hub.

no it shouldnt click when you hit bumps, it may just be the valves opening, but you may just need some new oil and some more air in it

no i think he said tightening the headset fixed the clink.
