bam72873 on January 8, 2025 3:53 pm I don’t like falling down, therefore I would not ride it again before installing new forks.
zystyl on January 8, 2025 3:54 pm Is that not a rack mount? That one isn’t even tightened all the way, which seems even worse. Edit: it isn’t. I’m just used to flat and post mount brakes.

garciakevz on January 8, 2025 4:33 pm The good news is, you noticed it before descending somewhere deadly
Prestigious-Candy166 on January 8, 2025 4:37 pm I am so pleased you spotted this before something very bad happened to you. Well, done for being vigilant in the first place, and then for getting advice.
