[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 177700, member: 3426"] That became painfully obvious with the yet to be ridden Lighting replica. With Neal’s shoes and heat treated alloy brake plates, next in line was that mount. Without the existence of the front mudguard stay, when the front brake is applied, you can see the leading edge of the mudguard move downward because the FF32 is bending. How does the FF32 bend without moving the fork blades (right where that spindle is located)? Do they move enough to make a difference….. I have no idea…in its current condition there is no convenient way to hang an indicator on there. When assembling the girdraulics, they should drop under their own weight. My gut feeling is that with the FF32 deformed the same amount, that would be less likely. Would it make a difference to the girdraulics performance under heavy braking. Probably not, but that might depend on the state of the bushings. Anyway…. either a thicker FF32 or add a brace. [/QUOTE]
