FHG Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago I broke the bottom of the lower fork on my Montesa rebuild. ChatGPT told me to hammer down....the forks come up.... I should have realized but didn't. I heard about welding but I think here in Alberta, CA it would be very expensive and no warranty or guarantee. I see exact parts on ebay in the US that look almost new. They look too good to be true but I assume I could rebuild the forks with new seals... Or is it best to try to get an entire fork - upper and lower? The old shocks seemed to be functional 25 years later. Any recommendations would be great.

lemur Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The lower fork legs wear oval in the bore after years of use depending on how often the oil was changed, measure the bore in the lower legs for true to round before investing in a weld repair. Very few will have the tech to weld that material efficiently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr1AL Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) @ FHG Sounds familiar , One listens to a machine pretending to be a person , you then take its advice , you believe what it tells you and then everything gets broken , affects you personally and costs you money.
