this is what happens when you forget to put the two bolts at the bottom of the fork in.

mate,.. you may need to check your fork seals and oil u may need some new oil in them :L ha !

Maybe the fork is a bit too long!

Maybe it's a POD, because of the long fork and the oil...just crazy

See above : "The fork was falling out, thats why it was so long. he didn't snap it, as far as I can tell, whoever assembled the forks did it wrong...Or manitou malfuncitioned again, I don't see a snap though"

im serious, in the automitive industry when you are a mechanic and a wheel falls off and someone gets injured guess who is liable.
