FORKS

A word about forks: The fork on a bicycle is the leading edge of your ride; if it is not in line it will track the bike so that you have two separate gyroscopic planes. Your wheels will want to go their separate ways, especially on fast downhills, where a shimmy may be noticed. My forks are made to an exacting standard through a three step alignment process that results in plus or minus 0.25 mm tolerance. I am very proud of that. See the testimonial fan mail from the infamous Hillsboro, New Hampshire “Peddling Fool” himself, James McDonough.*
