I have scratched my fork stanchions. Came across a sticky on bikeradar.com which reccomends rubbing down any raised bits with fine wet n dry then filling scratches with paint and rubbing smooth again with wet n dry. Has anyone done this, did it work and is it still working a reasonable time later.
I am a bit worried about the durability of this dodge I have smoothed down the raised edges of the scratches with 1200 grade paper like it says but now I can barely feel them, do I need to do the second stage and apply the paint or can I forget about the paint. The scratches are near the top of the travel and as I run my forks fairly firm I cant see the scratches getting as far as the seals very often.
What are the cons of just leaving them as they are now and what are the pros of applying the paint.
