baja trip this weekend leaving san diego

[Patrick Vincent]

Hi, I need to buy a fork brace but can't decide between the Happy trail K-9 and SRC one. I read a few earlier posts about the subject. I begin to think about the SRC fork brace. The design looks nice and on the Dual-Star website they say that you can now use any dirt tires with the brace. It is a must for me to use dirt tires. But I like to ride my bike with the top of the fork about 3/4 inch above the top tripple clamp. Question 1: Which fork brace will allow me to do that without having the brace hitting the fender on large bump? Maybe it's not possible? Question 2: For the K-9 fork brace. I saw some pictures but does the fork brace clamp over the forks boots? If not do the boots stay well in place? Thanks, Patrick

I just installed the SRC brace last week. You have to cut the fender no matter what. I'm not sure about the K-9 from Happy Trails. As for performance, the SRC fork brace definitely stiffens up the front end.

[Spot ON]

A couple of us are meeting this Sat. 16th, 8am at the Starbucks on H St. and Broadway. H St. exit, go east 2 blocks off I-5 south. We are heading to Mike's Sky Ranch southeast of Ensenada off HWY 3, then coming back up through Laguna Hanson on Sunday back up to San Diego. Anybody interested? Drop a line or show up Saturday. I called Mike's and there seems to be plenty of room, or you can camp. Erik _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
