I'm having Front Fork Problems?
The other day, the bolt on my front forks must have come loose and it starts to depress the fork springs with even slight pressure on the handlebars. I've included a photo link that will show the bolt that needs to be tightened.
How much should I tighten the bolt?

The flickr photo isn't working, but forks are a touchy thing becuase you can ruin them easily. Turn it finger tight, then check the stiffness, then turn it at 1/8th turn increments until you feel it is stiff. DO NOT GO TOO TIGHT! If you have it fairly tight and see no difference, call a bike shop and they can walk you through it over the phone.
