So, I got really lucky last season and made it until December(?) biking at least once a week, hard, with no tune up... Of course, things catch up to you. On my last ride in the beginning of March my fork locked up and I had a very bumpy ride. This gave me an opportunity to learn how many parts make up my fork... Total count? Um... lots. Also, no kidding, I have one left over! Which might explain the leak I just discovered... Ugh. Mountain biking; gotta love it.
The beast exploded.
One thing leads to another.
And another.
Refuel with old school style banana boat. Can't believe I'm gonna have a little dude to make banana boats for. See my bloody shark feeding frenzy? Pretty proud!
That's looking better! (hadn't figured out that I had a left over part yet)
As Adam Savage likes to say, "There's your problem!"
Hey, this thing only weighs like 3 lbs now. Maybe I should ride it like this.
How 'bout I ride it like this! I'll get the whole bridge next time!

I'm super impressed a. you got the fork apart without breaking it and b. you got the bike back together and it still works! You'll have to come out and fix my BB next!
