No matter what I do the damn thing gets so stiff during a ride that I can feel it through the bars if I wind on the lock (ooer). This mostly happens on right turns.
My LBS has checked my install (done using a park tools press) and that is okay. The bottom retainer fitted to the forks was carried out by another bike store who I bought the forks from and everything has been torqued up as per the CK guidelines.
My opinion is that the bottom race will not sit in the retainer correctly (or it could be the other way around but no matter at the moment). If you grab the end of the forks and try and move them before torquing it all up fully there is some slight play. This is to be expected; however, one movement stiffens the whole lot up and the other makes everything nice and smooth. Torquing up at this point makes everything okay but as soon as I ride the bike it all gets nasty and stiff again.
Anyone else had this happen, experiences, what can be done about it etc?
Someone help, please!
Cheers,
Dan
