Unlock Fork wear — the 90 % rule
Should the fork be scrapped due to wear at the heel?
A fork must not wear thinner than 90 % of the original cross-section at the fork heel. Measure the material thickness at the heel and compare it with the original then you see the remaining percentage and how far there is to the scrapping limit. The 90 % limit is binding (BFA).
