And that's how I did it.
Yeah. It's good to know your fork is a quality part.
Finally got some shop time.
I tried hand sanding for a little while, but ditched that for the wire wheel. Much quicker results.
Found a serial #. LRB0005624. No idea it means anything.
Needs a little finish work. Next I'll cut down the fork.
Still waiting on spokes to build my wheels. They are literally on a slow boat from somewhere.

I got my fork threaded so I can cut it to fit. Probably added an inch of threads.
I don't have the right crown race on it right now, so it's about a 1/8th inch from being seated. Plus I have to account for the chrome cover for the fork crown before I cut any excess.

Today was the day to swap hub shells on my Sachs 515 hub.
First order of business was to watch this dude disassemble/assemble a hub:
Then got to work. You really need a vise to work on this hub. Working from the brake arm side.
This Perry hub tool came in handy.
At this point, I should have been able to lift the shell off, but I had to take it apart a bit further.
Now I needed to swap the bearing race from the 36 hole shell to the 28 hole shell.
Reassembled in reverse order.

My camera crapped out so I had to use my phone for the last round of pics. They're enormous.
Ketchin'up post. KOTA bends look good. Chain stays at relatively level adds clearance too. Could bend a bit more for some rake but big guys on little bikes need the height and clearance is always good. Even street bikes go off-road once in a while. Not gold and not green, I like it already.
