Having super-glued ( 
) the loose boss into place, it popped off again when I tightened up the bolt...
Studying it afterward I noted that there's about a millimeter gap between the leg and the boss, so when it's glued/bonded on, there's bound to be some tension on the bond when it's tightened up again...
Any thoughts... I wonder if the crown or stanchions or bridge aren't perfectly true, which has led to a bit of an offset between the parts once assembled?
Still didn't seem to affect my day out up over cut-gate pass, rode like a dream although the elastomers were almost permanently under full compression - time for some new ones methinks, I'm guessing the creamy/orange ones I have are soft, and that medium or hard are the way forward... (a mate's suggested 5 seconds in the microwave can bring them back to life.. ever heard of that?)
