Good luck supported riders Jake Lesko and Casey Frye at the High Point regional qualifier this weekend.

This is why they peen the threads on your suspension out of the factory and why you use red loctite during assembly. Both sides were loose, not optimum for performance.

Forks appeared to be freshly serviced. Gotta go through everything. These rebound needles were frozen up from 18 years of use.

Second one this year. See my previous PSA about using too long of screws in the fork guard holes.

Size matters... pay attention to the fork guard bolts. Using too long of bolts in the blind holes against the fork tube can crush the tube and lock the spring in place. This is very difficult to fix and may the fork leg may need to be replaced. In this case the short (center pictured) bolt needs to go in the blind hole.
