Yes that gap thing is rather F'd. It is so hard to maintain speed around the corner.
What year were the boxxers?

My mate recently snapped his 06 boxxers.
From 06 downwards the lowers had a weak spot in them. In 07 they improved the design so now i shouldnt happen.

Cheers

I saw and checked out your Boxxers myself at Long Gully... Your lowers are the old ones which have a weak spot in them (where yours snapped).. It look's like you landed a bit off skew and they have snapped.. All I can say is maybe get new lower's 07->, or buy new fork's.

thats why i use 40's. they're big, they're beefy and they look heaps sicker than those puny little oil leaking boxxer things. boxxers arent a real mans fork get some marzocchis or 40s and youll be sweet:D the world cups are nice though the races are just crap hahaha

Mate your posts are frigging hard to read. Please put some more effort into your spelling, grammar and general typography.
