Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

If you want your fork oil at 160 mm from the top, has anyone ever figured out what the distance would be while the fork is at an angle . Of course there would be a front and rear measurement inside the tube. I just don't know the angle of the fork when sitting level. Any geometry students out there?

Or... Measure it at both sides (highest and lowest levels), add the two numbers together, and divide it by 2. This will give the height of the middle level. Cheers!
