General lee: thanks! I broke off the rebound shaft of my axon fork a while ago and was trying to find a replacement for it. I never knew this site existed. Sun tour is back on my radar as a viable fork for my bikes again just because of this.

He used to race track bikes so he's got tree trunk legs and can just barely keep up with me on the trails (I'm riding a geared hardtail).

5/28/2014 8:08am Does your maintainable regimen change if you hose wash the bike? After washing regimen: Right now I'm doing a full clean and lube of the drivetrain (includes pulling off the jockey gears), clean and lube stanchions, relube pedal pivots. Between washing: Clean and lube drivetrain. About every 6 months I do a full teardown.
