Hora, can I be a bit blunt? 🙂
I've been watching your fork threads for a while now and I've come to a conclusion:
Either
a) You have the demands and skills of a world-class rider and need the best, most perfect suspension fork that money can provide on your bike and only when it removes every single tiny ripple from the trail will you be happy…..
or
b) You're expecing too much form your forks, and you spend so long faffing with them and worrying about them, it becomes all-consuming, and you're running around like a headless chicken trying anything and everything to 'fix' them, without any particular logic behind what you do
To be honest, I think it's b) 🙂
From the sounds of this, there was nowt wrong with them at all.
PP- the Pikes blew its seals! Confirmed.
I doubt it. What happened to them?
