\nIt came right off. The grease has hardened too. The contact surface is so-so.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07786\"<\/a> \"DSC07788\"
\nBy installing it without putting stress on the frame side and carefully verifying the fit, we improve reliability.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07782\"
\nI occasionally see custom bikes without a seal on the under-bracket side, but I can’t recommend that.
\nThe steering head gets surprisingly hot from engine heat, and grease tends to drip.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07790\"
\nThis is a spot where soft grease that resists heat is important. If you could disassemble it frequently as intended, you wouldn’t need this much grease. Of course, the more grease you have, the more resistance increases. Balance is key.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07793\"<\/a> \"DSC07792\"
\nThe structure is simple with few concerns, so we can proceed with confidence.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07795\"
\nIt was pretty dirty.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07797\"<\/a> \"DSC07799\"
\nAfter a preliminary wash, we measure, polish out rust and scratches, and prepare for reuse.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0349\"
\nIt’s important to smooth it out without overdoing it. This should work plenty well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
