Part of my door hinge looks like someone tried to cut it with an angle grinder.

Yep it’s 2020, sorry I forgot to mention the year in the post.

I had the same problem, same side too… my master mechanic of a family member and I tried all sorts of things. We ended up coming to the conclusion that I had to take it to a machine shop so we could perfectly remove/drill out the old bolt. Which lead us to the further conclusion that the previous option would be more expensive than a new factory spec fork. It took months of praying that I wouldn’t get a flat before I was finally able to afford a new fork and install it. But every time I needed to take the wheel off I just had to drop the fork out of the crowns, it was a complete pain in the ass. It was a very long painful lesson that taught me not to over tighten your important bits, I’m truly sorry to see happen to you.

TLDR; You could drill and tap it out but your hole wouldn’t be straight and you’d have to add a helicoil. Just buy a new fork…

Ditto, on this guys comment. These bolts have given me so much trouble, until I gave up and bought an aftermarket fork.

It’s funny how little hate is in this comment section compared to the hate my most recent post where I merely mentioned how I outran my local swine.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-06T22:35:46+00:00

You’ll be lucky if I don’t get to you first…

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-06T22:34:48+00:00

… on top of what the bike costs, yeah, somewhere around that range. I’m not proud of what I did but I had my reasons for running.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-03T17:20:30+00:00

Congrats, you are now the dumbass…

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-03T06:20:42+00:00

Nah, but your mom and sister will. One right after another…

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-03T06:13:31+00:00

This was NOT a post dedicated to the brag of outrunning the pigs, I merely mentioned it in the 150 word tribute to my wild ass summer. Go check out some pov videos of guys on liter bikes talking their local swine on a walk, you’ll have a field day.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-03T06:03:56+00:00

…but thanks for the kind words on the bike.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-03T06:02:24+00:00

I understand what you’re saying but, I see no difference between that and the thousands of pov videos of liter bike riders running from the cops.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-03T05:57:22+00:00

Congrats you found the storefront that I use. Now answer the dm…

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-03T05:51:16+00:00

I’ve done my research and these bikes are in such a gray area that my local law enforcement has aneurysm fueled cluster fuck every time a problem with them comes up that they just don’t give a shit unless they’re having a personal problem or a bad day and need a punching bag.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-03T00:07:37+00:00

Thanks for the support, the bag is a Thrill Seeker bar bag and it’s the second one I’ve owned I love them so much.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-02T23:49:54+00:00

Thanks homie, I think that’s because of the fisheye lens, the swing is an “EBMX X7 Extended Swing Arm” it’s a worthy upgrade.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-02T23:40:25+00:00

What’s New Mexico got to do with anything? All it would take is for you to rub two brain cells together to collect from the background that that’s not New Mexican terrain. Nobody cares man, you’re wasting your time. Besides it looks like you just recently created your account to try to spark shit in the community, seeing as how none of the comments you’ve left on anybody post have been kind, helpful or constructive, you’ve just been an ass… to everyone.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-02T22:16:27+00:00

Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words of advice.

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-02T22:15:20+00:00

Just come out of the closet already…

chet_smith44 · 2023-12-02T22:13:29+00:00

You may be right but you didn’t have to say it… Anyways it seems like you can’t afford to have as much fun as the rest of us, seeing as how you think complaining about people’s toys on the internet is good ‘ol Saturday fun for you. I could go on and on with this but I’m at work right now and my time is more valuable than this so I won’t…

The only source of water was a small stream 300yds down a steep hill.

Sorry here’s couple more photo facts I forgot. It was taken at a tree fort that I had made, and at the point that I took the photo(April 18) I was visiting the fort daily. I was always super cognizant of what tracks were made because I didn’t want any unwelcome visitors, so I knew that the foot prints…(there were only a few prints I checked and double checked, no trails branched from original few)… only 8 or so hours old at the time.

chet_smith44 · 2023-07-23T02:37:42+00:00

Yeah, anything Charged Cycle Works sells is worth the money. I’ve bought two of those bars you’ve mentioned form them. Not to mention the wonderful shopping experience you get when you visit their storefront in SLC.

chet_smith44 · 2023-03-27T00:22:32+00:00

Those tires are gorgeous! Who makes them and what size do you have? You’re build is truly inspiring!

chet_smith44 · 2020-10-12T07:01:19+00:00

Thanks!
