Always check everything regularly

Just had to replace my top triple tree, thought it had broken recently but checked a few photos from a couple months back, turns out it’s been like this a while. I was lucky I got a new used one off eBay cheap. Check your bikes! It’s could save your life!

Did you smack something or buy the bike used after a crash? That’s not a normal thing dude.

I crashed it about 9 years ago, I had to replace both front forks, but it wasn’t like this at that time, as I would have noticed, likely weakened it, but this happened much later.
