Fork leg pitting.

Post by Sam-NI »

My forks have some slight pitting. In the travel area, there fine, but further up the leg there is slight pitting. I'm replacing the seals, and I don't want to nip them pushing them down over the pitting. Is there anyway of getting rid of it?

very fine wet and dry, or put some insulating tape over the rough bits as you sllide the new seals over.
It don't matter if i'm fixin' it or ridin' it.

P1200 wet and dry do? And then run it on the polishing mop at work?
