He may well have bought it in 1994, but it is of course a 1995 Explosif made of Columbus Max OR. He must have upgraded the Marzocchi XCR to an RC35 when he first bought it, a little matter that has now slipped his mind.
May well be a good bargain for anyone who lives near to TW (Hilts?)

maybe thats why its not had much use,must make the handling "interesting"
You see the bolts at the front that secure the steerer? They should be at the back. I have a feeling there is no offset in the crown in RC35 crowns, as there is with most forks, but that it gets the offset by holding the stanchions at a slight angle, which is currently reversed. Either way, I wouldn't fancy riding it like that, especially down a hill :shock:ernie":3h51zhpp said:Hi, you say the crowns on backwards.. :? :? sorry can you explain that to me??, surely it could be put right.
Cheers ernie
It would take about ten minutes to fix it I think. Quickest way is unbolt the stanchions from the crown, loosen the stem, reverse the crown, turn the stem to face forwards again, re-bolt the stanchions and re-tighten the stem, job done.
