[QUOTE="Vincent Brake, post: 113738, member: 398"] Norm, Vic, et all, When i looked up the static load on the thinnsection bearings. I got scared, and figured me a way out of it. I have seen a bump or two in my life. Not only the ones of the wife..... By ina 33 x 20 x wide16 or so i got about 10 times the load factor, and more over if they damage. You know yes, over those bumps, i still can carry on as where a skinnier ones would brake. Side plates are skf ones thrusting one hardend stainless. As are all spindles. 1600HV. By chrome diffusing in process. We will see the life span. My old forks went up to 50T km. And had steel hardend spindles. Btw. I made a new bottom part for the works P damper a bit longer so now the lower front pivot is about 17 mm lower as rear. At fully extended damper. Hoping it to be with me on the bump ride to be level. Cheers [/QUOTE]
