\nToday we’ll work on the front end.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"dsc_1631\"
\nIt’s nice that there are so few component parts.<\/p>\n

\"dsc_1632\"
\nA cap with a structure where the stroke doesn’t change even when preload is applied.
\nExcellent.<\/p>\n

\"dsc_1635\" \"dsc_1637\"
\nThe better the finish looks, the better.<\/p>\n

\"dsc_1638\"
\nWe use SKF seals. These seals will stiffen over time, so lubrication will be necessary.<\/p>\n

\"p1620244\"
\nIt’s quite a fussy design.<\/p>\n

\"p1620235\"
\nThe fork oil isn’t in too bad a condition.<\/p>\n

\"p1620238\" \"p1620239\"
\nThere are a few scratches and some shine, but I’ll polish and smooth them out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"p1620242\"
\nNo runout on either side\u2014reassuring. Finding runout at this stage always gets me down.<\/p>\n

\"p1620245\"
\nThere’s not much point in measuring, but just to be safe\u2026<\/p>\n

\"p1620249\"
\nSurprisingly low spring rate.<\/p>\n

\"p1620252\"
\nLet’s check the position where the axle slides in smoothly.<\/p>\n

\"p1620250\"
\nI’ll paint over any dirty spots, even if it’s just cosmetic. It won’t peel from a wrench. The finished appearance improves dramatically.<\/p>\n

\"dsc_1643\"
\nAs always, bikes without an under-tube are tricky to figure out where to lift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
