Fork advice please

(1/5) > >>

Mike on a bike:
I need a lower fork leg and found this on the bay of theives.
It has an obvious crack at the top of the leg, so how important would this be as to the actual function of the forks/bearings etc. I can get it welded but would seek your advice first as I know sweet FA about these things.

never, ever use anything that has been damaged on a critical item, which the fork is. there may well be other fractures not visible which could prove fatal. keep searching!

martin_uk:
+1, you have to ask yourself, why did it crack? Would you want to risk?  It may be bent as well.

Mike on a bike:
Thanks guys, you have just confirmed what I was thinking. Maybe I was getting a bit desperate!  :-[

ginger_jim:
I have some fork legs you can have cheap - they have new seals in them too  ;D
