Quick And Dirty Twin-Chamber-Fork Seal Changes - Dr. Dirt
|
Clean the tube extremely well, then under good light, inspect it for nicks that may have cut the seal. Use a razor blade to judge any imperfections you see. If the razor catches on any small pits, they will need to be dressed and have the edges removed before the new seal is put in. Nicks will almost always be at the back of the fork tube. Deep or large scrapes or gouges may not be repaired successfully. To keep the fork light, the outer tubes are very thin, and they can be dented right through fork guards in a crash involving another machine. The inner tube must be replaced if the damage is major.
