fork oil seals

[haveugot1 0]

Just spent all day with mike changing my fork oil calls. And the fooking leak. Admit partly my fault as I didn't use oem ones. But was told y hunters in newcastle that these were really good. Well there not you fooking dick.  

so now I have to pay for oem ones and that peed off going to pay local bike garage to change them.

Not good. Get a refund? 

Mine leak think that's because I used cheaper ones, so genuine parts going in soon.

live and learn  

think alot of the none gen stuff is imported now   and cheap

There's no such thing as OEM fork seals guys. They're made by third party manufacturers, just like tyres and light bulbs. Buy a good name and be sure you take care fitting them.

Oi! you lot    at least I didn't put the spring in upside down   and it was the first time we had worked on inverted forks I thought it went pretty smoothly but when the seals went in by finger pressure not even having to drive them in I think we knew something was wrong  . Still really enjoyed the day, just a shame the outcome wasn't better!
You make a pretty good ham and mustard sarnie though m8    If you decide to have another go with better quality seals let me know

If I'd known there were sarnies on the go I'd have come round to supervise   Then I could have kept them right and told them what they were doing wrong    Or at least said the manual doesn't say that

Well took forks into local bike dealer. Cost me £60 to get the fork seals fitted and now they are back on and sorted.
