Very nice! Lovely to see another one on here.
I should get mine out of the shed again…

Fork Upgrade

Since I got this Explosif I planned to upgrade the fork to a triple butted Project 2. Today is the day. Here are the steps I went through;

Start with a TB fork. Thanks again @Spanky22b - top bloke.



Paint it.



I removed the eyelets for a cleaner look and opted for the earlier Project 2 logo as I prefer it to the 91/92 version. Decals courtesy of @gil_m .

Finished item:





Happy with that.

Now to see what the ride is like.

This Explosif is a blast to ride. Particularly on flowing single track / gravel type surfaces. I really enjoying riding it.

Curious to know if you've noticed a difference between the forks

Good question. I don't know if I am that skilled a rider to notice the difference
The bike has always felt very agile. I am sure the TB forks have enhanced that by some degree.
