Now let’s move on to the fork… it’s bent… working on the correction with a sigh.
This period fork has no inner metal on the inside.
It’s a good idea to replace the studs. It’s also good to sand down any raised areas.
The thinner it gets, the less the inner tube wears. The plating wears away and falls off, creating resistance and scratches that tear the seal.
Lubrication prevents rust and reduces resistance, which means longer life and easier on the wallet—good condition lasts longer. Start with cleaning and oiling.
The wheel bearings are also pretty rough. The 15mm diameter is a bit cheap, honestly.
