Good on Ya...

Don't let a little broken bone stop you having fun.

Although cleaning wheels after a long wet ride or repairing crash damage is hardly fun though is it?

Anyway, respect sir. I admire your refusal to give up. :mrgreen:

Was that left outside since it rolled off the production line and occasionally rubbed all over with road-salt?

Mine's not so bad...but the pic was taken after it was all cleaned off ;) Going to grab hold of some hammerite anti-rust paint and clean off all of the crap next week. Did it last year to a CG frame, and it's still rust-free, despite being sat outside in the lakes now. Good stuff!

It may as well have been. It was 7 years of Yorkshire all year round commuting that did that, and a previous owner thats sat on the settee here, who kept her well mechanically on the inside, but failed to look after her on the outside!!!

:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock: :shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock: :shock::shock::shock::shock:

On a more positive note, I think my shock's a lot better than that...not that it matters - it's hopefully going to be replaced in about December :D

I want my forks doing like yours, though :(
