Thanks. Very pleased with it myself. Is it me, or has the crack even shrunk a little? Before: After:

I got the ring and to my shock it was too big. Damned. It was exactly 2mm to wide. So my first thought was to bin it and send another 30 euro on a new one. Then I thought to fill the space with some material I had lying around, a 1.1mm thick door latch plate. The idea was to heat the ring and...

This must be the best color for Rocky Mountain bikes ever. Sadly they don't do this anymore.

That's a color I have not seen on a Blizzard. It looks great.

Awesome build. I borrowed the V1 version of this back in the day from a buddy of mine as I was waiting on a warranty frame. It rode dang nice for what it was, I even took it to a bikepark in Germany. I did have Votec dual crown forks with 100mm (or was it 120mm, I forget) travel on it. I was sad...

Found this one, hopefully it works, or I can adapt it to work. 18 euro shipping though...

I measured the bottom headtube and ordered a stainless steel ring to go around it. Apparently, pcbway.com is also able to CNC machine parts for you, I always thought they only did printed circuit boards (PCB). I chose the R430 stainless type as it appeared to have the highest tensile strength...

I think the thread size is M8. But it's really shallow, like only 3-4mm deep.

Used my Rockshox pump to inflate, which worked. I needed to add some more pressure (150 psi was not enough), but even with careful insertion and ample amounts of grease, the port is now not airtight anymore, it leaks air. Would it be possible to convert to a schraeder valve?

Image dump. I polished the rear and got some XTR shifters. Apart from the ring around the headtube to stop the crack and servicing the shock, she's finished.

Got some XTR shifters with the display. They shift like a dream. I need to get better pictures though.

The Tufo tires are on the yellow Edge above :)

I finished the Edge. I just have to repair the broken stuff like the shock, but it won't change visually.

So it's like the Rockshox Mag21, right?

I think the scratches you see are not real scratches, at least I cannot feel them and they are not real obvious on sight. I think the flash of the camera just highlighted them.
