Forks - Repo or Rechrome?

<< < (2/5) > >>

philward:
Logically, there's only one way to go on this me thinks!
Another question as a result of just stripping forks. My forks have the rod down the middle that screws into the fork cap - which after scanning CMSL schematics, appears to be pre K2 (mine is US import K2) - does this mean its got upto K1 forks fitted or was there a cross over to K2 where earlier forks fitted? (fork ears, etc are K2).

What it mans in practice is I now have to find 2 fork top nuts as mine are knackered! (as K2 ones where readily available at right price)

Knackered as in totally knackered or just the chrome knackered?. If its just the chrome, send them to Philpots with the forks and they rechrome them in with the price of the forks.

philward:
Thanks Julie - its just the chrome that is bad - do I need to de-rust and polish before sending?
