Hi all
I got an old 80s (I think) bike recently with a set of locked up bomber z3s on it. The date stamp on the inside of the fork is 96
ive read online (and this forum seems to have the most knowledge about these forks) that it was kind of common for these to lock up after sitting unused
Is there a quick and dirty way to unstick them without doing a full service?
are the oil seals just a generic 30mmx40mmx7mm seal that are a few dollaroos from auto parts shops?
I’ll probably redo the oil and seals if I can get them unstuck and they seem ok and the seals are a standard kind
im a bike noob - But ok at diy
this is my first bike in about 15 years and the one I had before was a basic cheapie rigid fork so I’ve never had suspension forks. Might need simple words and crayon drawing to help me understand
I’ll post some pics of when I get home
