|   Shifter Cable Wearing A Groove.... | Egg
Oct 21, 2003 9:00 AM | | Into the crown of my fork just below my headset, anyone have suggestions on protecting that area from the rub? the groove is becoming substantial (maybe 1/16" deep now) and i don't want to compromise the strength of the crown. |

| On the crown, over the groove. | Lucky

| got any old tubes? | pfunk
