Well. John's front forks, which were returned to Evans Cycles when they refused to move their full four inches of travel on the Kona Kikapu Deluxe, continued to cause him problems right up to the Chopwell ride.

After Terry had sat on the thing in Chopwell (no, John's bike, not THAT thing), he had to agree, and Arthur said exactly the same. The bike felt like it had a flat front tyre and wanted to turn left.

So it was duly strapped onto the GollyMobile and taken back to the Cave for further inspection. It was a beautiful afternoon in Holystone, so the front end was stripped immediately in daylight and the forks removed. See the outcome in these videos, and note the presence of the large plastic bag placed under the forks to catch little spherical things! Oh, and MAKE SURE YOUR SPEAKERS ARE TURNED ON FOR THIS!

Below - a thin, shiny ring gives the game away - something rubbing!

Lovely hammer blows on the Crown below (not from Golly's actions!)

This is the fix - get some for spares, just in case!

And grease is always nice to have around your little orbs
