Fork spring buffers

Post by Steve Harding »

Evening,

Is there a technique to fitting the rubber buffers onto the stanchions?
1 1/4 forks, the I.D of the buffers is approx 1'' and they are not very stretchy.
Thanks in advance

Hi

I lubricate the stanchions with Waxoil and the buffers slide on easily - re-coat the stanchions with Waxoil after fitting the buffers to ward off corrosion in use.
