Re:
Couple of questions for our two wheel brethren. The bike is going for its mot tomorrow. Now to my mountain bike eye the rear shock looks horrendous, but it does work, doesn't weep but the shaft looks terrible. Given that it's in the direct firing line of all the crap from the road it take it they are more resilient and that shaft condition isn't a failure? If it was a mountain bike shock I'd be worried. Ditto the forks , they actually look good with no oil weeps but the wipers are in a horrible nick. What are fork services like for the home mechanic? Or is it a send off thing? I'm hoping to get the summer out of it then remedy a few things.
