This Space for Rent

New fork day

avec une fourchette en plastique

My friend Kevin is moving to Yakima so his sweetie can go to medical school, and he’s getting rid of a bunch of his extra bike stuff. I swapped a dynamo hub (I think that there are 14 dynohubs in the house, and we’ve “only” got 9 bicycles) for a bunch of useful(?) stuff including a carbon fiber fork (which was cheap because it had, at some time in the past, had the steertube cut down to 175mm.) And today I pulled the born-again Trek apart and installed the new fork.

23.7 pounds as pictured, though that’s going to go up a little bit when I fabricate a pair of rack mounts and epoxy them onto the fork blades.
