Are you planning on enlarging the small hole to a larger diameter, in order to improve the grease flow on the nose fork bearing, or is it even possible?

Are you planning on enlarging the small hole to a larger diameter, in order to improve the grease flow on the nose fork bearing, or is it even possible? If you're talking about that great big roller bearing on the steering collar, yes, it does only have one hole on the front through which you lube the bearing. I didn't think about it, but now that you mention it, it's definitely a good thought. I'll have a look at Lionel's thread, and take a look at the collar and see what I can come up with. That's an awefully large bearing ($$$$$) with minimal means to get the grease in there. Good point. I'll let you know what I come up with.

That has got to be the funniest thing I have seen in a LOOOOOOONG time! I can't stop laughing. Thanks Greg. I needed that badly.
