Hello and have read through a bunch of stuff here. Has there been any latest improvements by Vans that has significantly reduced the risk of gear collapse, on the 6A? I'll keep reading, but just wanted to ask, for I have found a 6A (for sale) that the owner had decided "not" to do anything with it's original gear, which is from pre 2000 kit. I'm just really not sure if I need to worry about this or not. I live on a paved 35 X 2100 which can get some good crosswinds, but ****, not gonna let that stop me. Just looking to see if there is something I have overlooked. If there was something that was "alot" better that the original, I would most likely do the repair. Thx, DM
