Hello fellows,

again something strange finding on my silk;
the two tapered rollerbearings in the steering head get adjusted with a long bolt/screw, that also clamps the triple tree together. That bolt is only 9,65 mm in Diameter !
On bikes from other bike manufacturers i usually see there a tube with at least 20 mm in diameter.......

Is that a "custom" build of a previous owner, or is that how it came from the factory?
