I got skunked, like several others. I did know it was a word, but there were so many other possibilities and even with an elimination word I couldn't cover all of them.

yeah, my brother got shut out too. i actually couldn’t think of more than three words at guess 5, but the other two last letters had already been eliminated.

now devoting more attention to forks - after following genejockey fork search for his circuit

Dang, I don't see a Basso Ascot fork in there. Guess I'll have to stick with the chrome one I have.

I just got my first 3" tube the other day, man what a beast! I briefly thought I should get one of those weird orange tubes, but I'll learn to live with it.

For most rides near home, I just assume the possibility I'll have to hike 5 miles back to the trailhead if I have a tubeless failure on a ride.

By the way, which one's Pink?

Me, too. Exactly. I had all but the middle letter on guess 3. :(

I suppose I could have, but I already had it underway. Not likely something I will pursue further. I don't like to cheat, in general.

How many people are looking for old steel forks?

I was, recently. I couldn't find what I needed, so I ended up with a new steel fork. This was part of my build for my daughter's college "townie" bike.

Meh. I'm not that emotionally invested to be offended by an occasional loss.
