I'm with others on the thread, contact Riv. Call and then send these pics over to them and see what they say. They probably have a replacement fork they can send you but it might not match the mustard. On Tuesday, October 4, 2022 at 4:17:17 PM UTC-4 Nick Payne wrote: > I had a tandem fork repa

Joe — I went to PBE for the first time last year. Not sure I'll make it this year. There are lots of vendors displaying all kinds of cycling related stuff: bike makers of all kinds, bag and luggage makers, tool makers and anything else you can think of. There are food, beer and coffee vendors a

I had a tandem fork repaired where the crown had cracked. The builder (not the original builder of the tandem) heated the crown enough so that he could remove the steerer and fork blades, cleaned them up, and fitted a new fork crown. Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribe

@Matthew Williams, Sorry to hear about your fork! Do you frequently ride in rain? How old would you say your frame and fork are? I ask as someone who commutes on steel bikes and as a result, has ended up with rust of various amounts on my commuter bikes. On Tuesday, October 4, 2022 at 12:54:3

That’s a lovely ride, small gravel for 5 miles over Forbidden Drive (forbidden to cars) then MUP to Kelly Drive. I suggest from Kelly Drive, right turn at Falls Bridge over the Schuylkill, left at MLK drive then car-free road for next four miles to the Art Museum. Then have your GPS to the Co

Hello Roberta, I'm planning to be there on Saturday. Same as last year, I'll park at the northern end of the Wissahickon trail and ride to the convention center. Anyone want to join me, just let me know. Look forward to see everyone there. JohnS On Tuesday, October 4, 2022 at 9:35:13 AM UTC-4

OP asked a list of questions: 1: Is this a structural failure, or just old/deteriorating paint? It's one or the other. Inspect more closely and decide. Have somebody else do the inspection if you don't trust yourself to do it 2: Is the fork fixable/salvageable? If it is a paint problem yes

I think it's plausible that there's just a bunch of rust scale developing under the paint. Take a drill and wire brush attachment, remove the paint, and see what you have underneath. You'd want to do that to arrest the rust anyway. All those little "bubbled" areas want to be stripped bare too

That would be wonderful. Depending on how far you want to ride in the morning, you can get a hotel on the Schuylkill River Trail and ride that in. It's really wonderful. The only on-road is 3/4 mile in Manyunk until you get to Kelly Drive and make a right. From there, best way is to make

The obvious thing to do first is contact Riv as this is by no means in the bounds or anything "normal". If they don't offer a replacement, or recommend a builder inspect it for possible repair, I'd look for a builder that is close to you. If you're near Ohio I'd recommend Jack Trumbull of Frank
