My New Fork and the Exchange

Today I decided I should just pay my LBS a visit to see if I could get store credit for the fork I purchased last Wednesday. They were more than happy to exchange for other items. Spent $100 on the forks, so I got these items for that $100. Also exchanged my tubes for presta valve tubes.

TIOGA presta tubes
Spacers

Thank you, YarraValleyCycles for the help!

A friend of mine from Rotorburn dropped off a RockShocx Dart fork, brand spanking new and two tyres. Thanks for the fork and tyre's eastie.

Problems

I'm not really liking the look of the bike at the moment. The silver fork and the design of it makes the whole bike look weird. I am thinking of going back to my LBS next Wednesday and trading the fork for something with a higher travel. At least minimum 100mm. Didn't get the other Marzocchi they had because I honestly couldn't afford it at this point of time.


An added problem, the tube valves would not fit into the rims because the slot it too small. Would have to exchange the tubes if possible. Just emailed my LBS, hopefully I hear from them soon.



Here are some pictures.

New fork and bike update

Sorry about the picture earlier, I put the bomber fork in the wrong position when I shot it. The image below was the best I could do with my iPhone and the lighting in my room.


Also a picture of my bike. I need more spacers now because of the steerer tubes length. Its the smaller things that have been setting me back.

Pretty stressed..

Well thats all for now, got to get ready for my shift at work.

Cheers!

New Fork

Went down to Yarra Valley cycles today. Its my LBS. Went in to get a few parts and ended up with a new fork because the cps bolts wouldn't fit into the marzocchi ones. A new fork was out of my budget, but managed to get this at AUD100.

I also got the same tyres in my earlier post, two for $60.
