Hi, probably a stupid question (again) about fork servicing.
I’m going to drop the lowers on my new 2014(13?) solo air rebas. Just to make sure there is oil in there, and the grease on the seals is ok. The thing is the these forks have the ‘hollow’ lower leg when viewed from below. Hence a few questions!
I assume the red rebound adjuster just pulls free like the old ones, even though it is much longer.
I have tools that will reach the shaft bolts so I can tap them free, and remove them for the lower leg removal. So far so good. I can do the clean and regrease of the seals no bother, but my biggest question is……..
When I put the lowers back on, does the hole that you put the fresh oil into come to the bottom of the lowers? If not, I cannot understand how you are supposed to get the oil into them. Do you need a specially long-nosed syringe, or does the hole come to the bottom of the lowers when the fork is depressurised?
Any help gratefully accepted.
