Hey guys iv got an issue with the forks on my 35. When the fork leg was taken out to replace a seal I noticed that the whole leg doesnt compress fully, as if something is blocking it from travelling all the way down. Iv spoken to a mechanic who seems to think that it may have been straightened at one point but not done it correctly.


Does anyone know a company who will look at them to give a definitive answer or give any advice as what to do next. Forks are rather expensive and trying to live off a student loan sucks lol.

Ta.

You mean the one fork compresses more than the other? Take the offending tube to any engineering shop and ask them to run a dial gauge along the length, with it in v-blocks to check straightness, usually they'd mount the dial gauge in a milling machine and then move the table, don't have my haynes at hand but sure someone else will quote the limit.. I'd do it for you for free, if i weren't couple thousand km's away...

BTW, i saw fork tubes on ebay a while back for not too much
