Problem Solved...With $205.17

okay, so....all week i tried to fix my bikes suspension with my country-fied ingenuity. in the end my design worked, but i couldn't get the j-b weld to hold. thus, today i broke down and took my bike to the bike shop to be fixed. my new suspension will cost $130, installation $10, and to make it all work i need to spend $50 converting my steerer from a threaded design to a non-threaded design. thursday i will be able to pick up my bike in working order for $205.17 which is half the price of my bike brand new. at least when i get my bike back i will be able to ride it again.
