I know you get some forks where the bridge bit is on the other side, but those are just backwards, right?

Edit: Ignore the question mark, just saw where the brake calliper is, I don't think I'd like to slam the front brake on too hard :shock:

"If you see me on trails. Move out the way. " Indeed !

With a quote from Pure Cycles "the fork isn't on backwards, the stem is facing the wrong way. I guess its the same, but I don't see how a fork can be on wrong. Just the stem"

Remind me not to go there for bike servicing !

My Manitou Minute Expert forks has the bar at the back, right pain as I wanted to fit a RRP guard to stop all the crap they collect...

Those Tesco one's are shocking

I once had a couple in the shop out on a ride, he was 6' she was about 5'3" he had brought a new bike and given her his old one that was clearly gonna be way to big so he put the stem on backwards so the bars were over the top tube.
I had a go and it was such a weird bike to ride, to corner you had to lean but push your arms the other way, after much mocking he brought her a new bike!
