Hi,

I need some advice my fox 36 Talas R (2006 model) front folks have snapped on the right side dropout, would it be safe to put them on my commuting bike so would be used for road and light trails, or can they be repaired though I do not have the part that snapped off.

Any help would be a great, thanks

    Probably not safe to ride at all in my opinion (without seeing pics)

    You should be able to get new lowers from somewhere like TFTuned, but it will not be cheap (cheaper than new Fox forks though)

    1, not really commuting forks.

    2 replace the lowers and use as normal.
