I was fooling around with my forestay today, and I noticed that the pin that holds the forestay to the bow is pretty beat up - it's at least 12 years old and may be the original (my x is a 97). Probably time to replace.
Anyone know the size?
What is the size of the forestay pin on the 26X?

Not really. The hole gets bigger over the years. Not the pin...
