easy to fix? and where to get the part
If I bring the bike to the shop it is 80 buckd. It is a freaken plastic knob. Where can I buy Specialized parts? They seem to not want to sell to private people shops only. Someone must sell this stuff. How hard is it to replace? If I have to I guess I could shell out 80 bucks but I saw the whole freaken fork for 125 on EBAY.

How does that knob attach to the fork? Must be the angle of the photo, but I can't quite see how it connects. Would be interesting to see a photo of the unbroken part.

There are no Specialized fork parts. But whoever is making the forks for Speicalized (RST?, SR?, etc?) these days may have a replacement parts. You just need to find out who the OEM is.
