well not exactly lol i have been registered for a while but for one reason or another not got on a bike till now . Ive got my self a carrera vulcan- not the greatest bike in the world but for just getting back into the swing of things i figure it will do for now. just got a question about it tho, on the bottom of the fork legs(suntour xcm) are 2 allen bolts are these to stiffen the forks up? im not sure myself and dont want to mess it up before ive used it properly. with any luck once i started ridding again i should start to lose some weight as this is the main focus of starting to ride again. Any help on my question about forks would be great . Look forward to chatting to you all.

The bolts hold the fork together lol! They should be tightened pretty firmly.

On top of the legs at the crown there are adjusters which set how much the fork sags under your weight.

righto lol i wont touch those bolts then lol just one other quick question, one of the rubber seals has come off of the fork leg does this matter?

Yo u should be able to push it back on. Add a bit of chain oil to the fork legs and smear it about. Push seal on, compress forks a few times and wipe of excess.
