Cheers mate, the HOBL gives a good description of stripping the fork
leg but I wasn't sure it was necessary, as it looks like the seal is
nicely accessible for hoiking out. So much for saving some time, looks
like i'm gonna get oily :-(

Yes, that's what I thought was logical, so I put it in this way.

But then I remembered it had come out the other way. !

The jury is still out then. I'll wait for TOG's direction ... !

Gawd yes. More of a comic (look at the pictures) than a manual ;-)

Cheers

Paul.

 

Think of it as getting to know your bike better, it'll also give you a
chance to clean inside the fork leg. A parafin soaked rag on the end of
a bit of bamboo or dowel is good for that.

Well, to be honest, I don't think it matters. Which ever way you're
happy with, just make sure the chain adjusters are in the correct
position.

It does help if you've done it before. You've just got to take things
slowly, and not panic or loose your temper with the help of large
hammers.
