>> What did help, however, was the addition of the Happy Trails
fork brace. the Highway to Fred's shop was milled and grooved. Tim wanted
me to try his fork brace out, so I bolted one up at Fred's shop. Then I had
to hustle into town to run errands. Looked down at my speedo, 75mph and
the front end was about as calm as it has ever been. Too early to tell if
the fork brace may be the answer to running an aggressive knobbie in front
and not having to take out a life insurance policy when riding on pavement,
but it seems that way now.

any upgrades which make the bike less likely to spit me off.
>Riding in muddy ruts is about my most not fun way to get somewhere and I
was wondering if fork braces would do anything to stabilize the bike a bit
as the front tire bounces from side to side in the rut.
>I've learned to "get loose" and not overcontrol and to look way ahead and
not down but the pucker factor takes some of the fun out of it for me.
>Do you think fork braces would make any meaningful difference for me?
