I sold a set of Pikes (Air U-Turn 454) recently, without realising that they had wear on the stanchions, on the right leg, I didn’t spot it as it was behind the brace (and I was too interested in my new forks to really look at the old ones). I refunded the buyer in full when he pointed it out and took the forks back, so now I guess I’ll be keeping them.
What I’m wondering is what might have caused the problem – bushings, maybe? And if there’s anything easy to fix it/stop it getting worse? Don’t really want to spend money on them, will probably end up sticking them on a hack bike of some sort.
