...fork.



As usual, I bring the repair stand and all the tools only to end up needing nothing of it. Other people do though, all the time. I'm just glad to be able to help out.



Fast Eddy insisted on overhauling Paul J's fork before Thursday night. A quick test ride in the campsite revealed a fork with high Walmart Huffy factor. The cause for concern on my side was - it was dark, Ed's had a couple of brews and if he failed, Paul J would not have a bike to ride for the entire gathering. I advised Paul to sign a contract stating that if Ed failed, Paul would get to ride his bike on all three rides.



To cut a long story short, Ed's 20-minute estimate was based on accessibility of an exploded fork view - which is hard to find on a campsite in the Lake Tahoe area late at night on a Thursday. However, he got it back together after a while and there were no parts left on the table.



Can you tell that Paul looks a little concerned?
