Things that you botched

[Octsoc]

Supposedly some one off Bontrager suspension corrected fork with a black chrome Bontrager Rockshox crown. I tried to unbolt the crown and stripped one of the bolts, ended up marring the crown all over the place just to save the legs. Fork now is sporting an Indy crown, it will never be the same again. I want to slash my throat every time I see this fork!!!
