Jason - I know in my heart that's the smart decision, especially with regard to the design considerations. It's probably fortuitous that nobody has gotten in touch with a possible fork as of yet. With any luck, I'll be distracted with other bike notions sooner than later. On Sunday, November

For what it's worth, one of my riding pals runs the 700x38 Rene Herse knobbies and they're delightful as well, so if you choose to size down to address the issue I don't think you'll be missing out a whole lot. Plus, that keeps the BB height, etc closer to the design values. On Thursday, 9

Wow - that's really generous Ted, thank you kindly. I'll let you know how things proceed. Smart advice about paying attention to the axle/bearing seat distance and to the rake. I should take stock and note that a new fork won't necessarily be plug-and-play. No matter how much I would like that

That's very nice - I like the sloping fork crown on there and was a good idea to have Waterford put one together for you when you did. On Wednesday, November 8, 2023 at 1:14:19 PM UTC-8 CJ wrote: > I didn't care for the original fork on my Heron Touring, so I contacted > Todd Kuzma somewhere
