Jacquie is beast. She won a race one time after her saddle had fallen off early on.

Dang, I've got a lot more movies to check out on klunkers now thanks to you guys!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Here is proof that you can make anything an offroad bike if you are willing to work really hard. Like, really, really hard.

This was my inspiration to want to know more about klunkers:



Its not historical, but a great tribute nonetheless!
Looks like insane fun and I love how different the bikes are. Some bikes have a more modern geometry with klunker looks it seems. One of the riders points that out in the video.

There is some amazing 'Klunker' art from Adi Gilbert in regards to this event:

Interesting, seems like they would bolt either inside or outside of the center of the fork leg. Hmmmm

Think they are for rear brakes, not the fork

I'm with you @One-eyed Sailor . I have seen this note before at other locations that differentiate the bosses are are for front or back (rarely both). Maybe someone can shed some lite on this in the Tips-n-Trix thread (or wherever) because I have no idea why they can't be used interchangeably.....
