Delayed!

Turns out it was not my fork seal that was bad, it was my whole fork.  The tube is bent.

 I am pretty sure the damage actually happened last year while in Mexico but I've gotten away with it for this long.  I'm thinking having to strap it down for shipping must have finally done it in.

Because we were on our way up to Deadhorse (and out of cell coverage) I couldn't get the call in time to have them order parts before the weekend.

Though this is not ideal, if this didn't happen before leaving Fairbanks it surely would have happened on the Dalton Highway... And that blog post would have had a very different tone.

Keep an eye out for some posts about the finer parts of Fairbanks!
