Well.....they are back on! I had to swap out the headset for a really short stack, as bitd, i was using a shimano 105....dont ask! Since then its been replaced by a ritchey with a higher stack, so ive how swapped to a megga short tange......well it goes with the forks too!
No real issues getting them back in, the cups on the ritchey were a devil to get in last time, but the tange pressed in nicely.
Brakes adjusted, ready to go.
Quick test ride reminded me just how sensitive they are to brake set up. Any small vibration, from incorrect block angle or position, sets them a quivering. Quick fiddle, all ok.
Unlike unicrown curved blades, you also get to see the flex in the forks more as you completely ignore the upcoming GATE !, completely transfixed by the gentle wiggle of the hub.
Here they are back at home, only 30 years late to the party!
