Fork Spring Install Mishap
Well I was pulling the forks off the bike for the first time and the connection tube would not release, so I sprayed it with WD-40 and tried to twist it with a pair of channel locks. They slipped and snapped the cross tube off. So do I have any options beyond replacement? I am installing progressive springs (or Race tech emulators) today.
