So the saga continues ha ha
Felt the bike deserved fresh seals and oil in the forks to try give then a bit of a better response to keep up with the new rear shock.
Got oil seals, dust seals (both due for delivery tomorrow) and a litter of castrol finest so set about stripping down and cleaning the forks but when I got the dust out I discovered what I assume is the original wire clip ........ Read that as rotten with rust haha.
Kept going , got them all stripped down cleaned up, fork legs painted up gloss black. Realy hoped to get them back together tomorrow after work but need new wire clips.
Are these readily available at bike dealers , halfords etc ? Or an internal circlip as a replacement ? (anybody know what size I'd need by any chance)
Thanks for reading a very long winded question
