...make me laugh.

I guess "recently rebuilt" means backwards/upside down triple clamps and a broken off rebound knob?

Is that guy serious? Makes me really wonder if it's stolen. No-one who owns a fork like that would EVER put the crowns on wrong.

Maybe for shipping convenience?

Good point But still, for a picture to show it off? Wouldn't you want to present it as it should look?

 

[j.les]

I bet he got the fork and pics off Craig's

You mean thats not how you install a fork? Crap ive been doing it wrong all these years......gotta go fix my bicycle now! No wonder my forks bottomed so easily!

Someone should email him and ask for a photo of that installed on a bike...

Done.

Done.

Did you really? This should be good....

Takes up less room in storage, and as UltraNoob said, for shipping. I see nothing strange here.

Good day sirs.

Please explain how this would take up less room in storage. It's a dual crown fork, it's not going to get any shorter than the stanchions.........and that still doesn't explain the broken rebound knob on a "recently rebuilt" fork in "excellent condition".

Bottom line: the guy listing it doesn't know his proverbial a*s from his elbow about the product he's selling, and obviously doesn't care much either.

if the steerer tube was on correctly, facing upwards, then it would take up more room in the box as it would be sticking out farther then the stanchions.
sure it wouldnt be to much but it still would

Then again, you could just loosen the lower clamps and slide them down............and it still doesn't explain why the top clamp is also upside down.

Thanks for proving what I already knew.........the seller is a scammer, case closed.
