I would do a service on that fork ASAP if you want it to last.

I didn't think there were any Gary Fishers left. Everyone I know who had them had frames break. Good luck.

I've known many people with GF frames over the years. Only aware of one (a ~2000 Sugar) that cracked. I personally know of two 15-20 year old Sugars still in use.

I’ve got a 2007 Montare with no known cracks. For the past 5 years it only sees use with studded tires on salty New England roads.
