[Kay Are]

yea ther bonded with some gnarly ass glue and my friend did this to frid fork

 

[Johann]

We're testing a new version since some months now. This problem will be fixed on the next production.

 

[Remco]

The forktube is pressfitted and glued in to the forklegs. Thats why harder riders should get a metal insert to make shure it stays put. If you dont than this can happen yeah.

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

[Matthew Madera]

[SPARTAN WORRIOR]

explain?

Drill a hole through the fork 5-10mm under the headset crown race.
Tap a thread in it.
Put a bolt in it (sunken or normal bolt, doesnt matter)

That sucks.and I'm sure its definitely not glue. I'm disappointed.I been looking forward to buyin one of these bad tboys

Its not uncommon to use adhesive to join metals... what makes you think its not glue? Theres no welds on the thing and im pretty sure its been said before that it is held together by adhesive. You guy are thinking that they used Elmer's to glue it togeather. Metal adhesives are some wild shitt. You could probably rip your skin off with the stuff.

Are you kidding me its cnced out of aluminum

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

I'm glad i traded mine...

and im glad its still ok

 

[TristanScoots]

Nope. There 2pieces of aluminum with glue. That's why they are so cheap to make. Mine are exponeuvr because there just 1 machines piece put of a block.

how did you get a one piece frenc id fork???
also if you have an old version of a fork will french id replace it?

 

[Apd]

That sucks dude, i hope you can get it fixed. I would be so mad if i wasted 80 bucks and it broke and couldnt get it fixed.
