Too few threads on my fork - solutions?

I usually like your posts but .....
The Would you stand up in court ..... statement. Well no. But that goes for most things with the state of today's litigation. Did you really make a considered decision when you tested your bike for 50 yards on the street while not wearing a helmet?

Would you let your beautiful daughter ...... If I thought about it, I wouldn't let my kids even ride the roads. People often ask me if I regret that my boys never got into cycling and I reply by saying no regrets, I'd be nervous as hell hoping they've survived out there. That's probably more about me being anxious about them, but it feeds into your post

What is this about? Who tested a bike for fifty yards?

I test loads of bikes for 50 yards, although it's usually to see if the gears are indexed and the pads bedded in - not a structural evaluation of their behaviour at 30mph down a rough mountain road - that takes a little more time

I will jump on any bike that presents as rideable, but would have my tool in hand ready to sort it out.
