And the crank interface?
Not sure yet, I will let you know when I have stripped of and compared it to the XTR four bolt that I have
Looking up the thread I hadn't posted pictures of the forks that I picked up, so here they are - a genuine Yo fork ...
I never thought I would get a genuine fork as the prices just seem to have gone crazy :shock: This pair were priced ok, but like most things, a balance needed to be found and this was the trade off for the 'cheap' price :-( :
One of the crowns (if that's what you call them on a segmented fork ?) is twisted beyond what I would class as safe for cold setting (bending ) back into position and will need replacement :
The other has some very mild distortion that could probably be bent back but that might as well get replaced at the same time so I have total peace of mind
Both legs appear straight and in good condition
One of the canti studs appeared to be bent (I guess from the same incident) but when I unscrewed it, only the replaceable stud was bent, not the boss which would have been a bit more worrying as it might have indicated some leg damage. I think you are aware that I am not really bothered about the canti studs anyway ...
Note that the seller was completely up front about these issues and it was all taken care of with the price - I had already checked the repair possibilities and costs before purchasing
