i seem to remember they were 40-50gbp each so not too bad!!

thanks for all the replies guys fwiw i managed to buy some 'heavy' air at the local flea market, so all sorted there! tried heavy water in the tyres but it leaked out when i got a puncture!!:BLAA: anyways, on a serious note, thanks for all the replies!!!! it sounds like its quite possible...

i think understand what you are saying, but i also know if i put the correct oil in (as i did 1st time round) i still have the problem, so it cant be simply the oil grade thats causing me to have little or no damping but surely heavier oil will move through the holes in the damper at a slower...

i didnt see any kind of seal (apart from the main oil seal) just the split ring which is a hard white plastic. i never though to test the damping without the spring in, might try that over the weekend!! the tubes looked ok its over-reacting to bumps, not under-reacting. and the problem...

Answer: the oil was rank after only a few 1000 miles, very dark coloured and totally opaque. i would love to open and FIX but as yet not found anything to fix!! what are emulators? i thought that just let me play manic miner on the pc!! lol from what i understand, replacing with R6 forks...

haha no, i'm the same weight, nothing has changed weight-wise, not added anything to the bike! the forks just feel like they are compressing and rebounding with very little damping effect. if when i'm standing by the bike i push down with my hands on the grips, its not difficult to achieve...

the bike was ok when i got it 14k miles ago, but deteriorated in the last few 1000. i but everything back together the same way it came apart and also found a diagram to double check things i wasnt sure on oil levels, but i found a volume online and i measured out the oil with a syringe so it...

OK When you did yours, did you notice if the collar was a loose fit on the damper, as mine is. Also it's split, but it looks like it was made that way I did the same but it made no appreciable difference :( Thanks a lot

Hi I've triple checked the level already and it seems right Travel isn't limited at all, you don't have to brake very hard for the forks to fully compress. I can get 3/4 travel just by bouncing the front end You're right, they are steel. But they have a plastic collar on them, wondered if...

hi all whats the chances of the damper rods simply wearing out? my bike has done 28000 miles symptoms are pogo-like forks! bounce all over the place like theres no damping. I've changed the oil, even put heavier weight in (currently 15w) the springs are the correct length, there is no...

that someone was me! glad to hear it's fixed

sounds like a plan! looks like potential for a nice round trip on the map are there any weeknight bike meets round here? always a good excuse for a brew! even better if there's bikes to drool over nev
