Ryte so about a week ago i snapped my re-inforced micro fork (@ the top where it connects to the stem) and i have about an inch of thread left and the re-inforced piece seems fine but i need some help thinking of a mod to sort it..... i'm thinking of drilling it through and bolting it but i dont know... any advice?

it might be a little late to do anything now, but in the future what you could do is take an old handlebar and wrap duct tape around it, then hammer it into your fork. with this mod, the threads are less likely to snap.

This is the concept of the micro reinforced fork which is what he rides, its just an aluminium pipe ducttaped into a regular fork. The ghettoness of some parts in the micro shop slowly starts to scare me.

lol i thought the micro sjhop would custom make them to fit into the fork perfectly, obviously not...

but at least we have a guy like Eric running a scooter shop, so we shouldn't complain

How the fuck are you supposed to snap a reinforced fork? Especially that one, it looks like a beast! Might be that they use some shitty alloy made of horse shit and sticks to reinforce the fork lol...

Well good sir (above me),
I hate to burst your bubble but the term 'alloy' is defined by 'a mixture formed to create a new metal from 2 or more existing metals, usually fused together when in a molten state'

Now this 'horse shit' you are speaking of, is it a metallic substance? Lets be honest, it is not.

Now these 'sticks' you are speaking of, are they a metallic substance? Lets be honest, they are not.

Now with these 2 non-metallic substances we have here, is it possible to make an alloy from that? No, it is not. Case closed.

Moral of the story: Dre lies.

lol, tell it like it is Travis. I love how you, good sir (Matt Dibble), can take a perfectly good joke and ruin it...

Moral of the Story: Matt Dibble kills jokes and Canada is cool because they can make stuff out of everything, like horse shit and sticks (and maple syrup) :p

I've broken a reinforced fork, but it was just the old part of the fork that cracked, the t-tube bar I stuck in it was fine.
