I recently picked up some "spent" suspension forks (RST, elastomer...) from sometime during the mid 1990s with a removable crown. I might not be the first one to do it, but making some rigid legs for these old crowns could breath new life into many old bikes, without having a boring old unicrown fork, because it's important to give an old bike some style.

You will have to be careful to make sure the new tubes are exactly the same size (within a thou...) as the previous legs. Otherwise you won't get the right amount of "holding power".. Remember the 3 Rules: 1. Looking good 2. Going fast 3. Safety Third!

wow.. another video.. give me some popcorns! ☺☺

Hey Chris, thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing your methods of making the fork crown. As you said, you need to think of each step before making them.

Thanks Tom. Yes, making a fork crown is not super simple. I do hope I am making a good one!

Great show. Always learning something new. Thanks for sharing.

These forks were a one off, so it's going to be pretty hard to "snag".. Maybe you are talking about a Gatorblade perhaps? Thanks for watching...

Thank you too...

Awesome!!!

Instead of the screwdriver spreader, slip a bit of sheet metal into the slot and tighten your allen screw from the other side to push the slot open without risking marking anything

Yes that's a good idea. I have done that before. I used a copper penny. Thanks for commenting!

Good stuff!

I still think it should be christened NOTWOZNOT😃

Now the name is getting too long. But thanks for thinking!

An Allen Millyard video AND a Paul Brodie in the same day.... I am a happy man now. 😁👍 Edit: 420 likes.... Nice. 😂

Good as allways❤

This part reminds me of the magnificent Pace RC35 fork.

Let's wait for Christmas in a little while!

Really interesting watch you reverse engineer a part you fabricated in the past! Go Paul and Mitch, keep moving forward!

Instead of changing the angle why didn't you just increase the distance between your bore holes for the tubes the exact distance you needed if it was too tight.
