Learn something every video 👍👌 Cheers Chris

[@paulbrodie]

Hey Chris, thanks for watching!

[@leonardarola]

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

[@paulbrodie]

Thanks very much!

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.

[@paulbrodie]

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!

[@marlonterbio]

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

[@paulbrodie]

Yes, we are enjoying working on the Woznot...

[@tomtruesdale6901]

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

[@paulbrodie]

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

[@hookerjl1]

The paintstripping effect is cool, crafting the new old fork is awesome😎

[@TL243]

Awesome!!!

[@cest7343]

AMAZING craftsmanship spanning half a century! like a time capsule. I'm both humbled and amazed!

[@paulbrodie]

Thanks for your kind comment!

[@retromechanicalengineer]

Another good one, thanks Paul and Mitch.

[@paulbrodie]

Thanks for commenting!

[@timothylawson4518]

Awesome video!! Looking forward to the next episode!!

[@paulbrodie]

Thanks very much...

[@frao4160]

Good stuff!

[@Paddington60]

Thank you Paul and Mitch!

[@paulbrodie]

Thank you too...

[@thinkpadBentnoseTheBlind]

I still hope to snag one of these some day. Great video and an absolute pleasure as always Paul and Mitch. thank you and cheers !!

[@paulbrodie]

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...

[@thinkpadBentnoseTheBlind]

@@paulbrodie yes, or something similar like a Tange or Syncros if Mr.Slack will ever part with one to me. lol. cheers !

[@jamesdstallard8743]

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

[@paulbrodie]

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

[@scottcates]

I still think it should be christened NOTWOZNOT😃

[@SmaulPart-pb5hm]

Wasn't that an 80's band?

[@LightBranches]

@@SmaulPart-pb5hmthat’s WOZNOTWOZ.

[@paulbrodie]

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

[@mortenrosentjorn1803]

Good as allways❤

[@siem8160]

This part reminds me of the magnificent Pace RC35 fork.

[@xpndblhero5170]

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

[@vmaletailic5237]

Let's wait for Christmas in a little while!

[@murdoc6501]

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

[@Fraser1661]

I sent you a facebook message over a week ago, not sure if you`ve seen it ......

[@talleneagle1974]

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.
