Default Steel or brass shifter fork?
I just wondered what is the best of steel or brass when it comes to the shifter forks. My four speed Evo is slipping out of 1. gear so I have to tear into it. At JP-cycles the brass is the most expencive, but is it best?

I prefer steel one piece design, have seen brass wear prematurely and the 2 piece welded steel break at the welds. so for me it's solid steel.

Why buy parts, when you can pick up some tools and make something way cooler?
