Re: damn this sucks...

thats not from a bolt being loose or breaking man, that's WELL beyond that. the forks separated at the caliper/axle mount. fucking SICK. never seen anything like that in my life. crazy.

It's the bolt that holds the inner fork tube in the outter tube when it's fully extended and unweighted. I was going off what a friend of mine who was there said.
