I'm about to do my first Mayhem at 54 :shock:
Dave, if you think Girvin's are trouble, you should try rebuilding 1970's Triumph / BSA motorcycle forks.
And don't go over training.

ha,ha Cheers for that!!
It will all come together I am sure just frustrating at the moment as seem to of taken 10 steps back!
The fork is back together with fresh oil , Fitted wavey bars , need to fit V brakes back on and waiting for a ebay R/H lever to replace bent one.
Got to the Bottom of the ghost shifting too with Nevadasmiths input when riding Sunday need to lengthen the outer cable of rear mech between frame and swing arm
Not spending any money as had to cough up for holiday this month so going to fit some shifters I have sat in the draw ... Not classy but will do the Job
All done and dusted the Proflex and myself survived 24 hours Solo, was amazed with the attention the bike got from other riders
