Hi,

The problem I have with these forks is that they are very very sticky, plush dont come into it at all. They have had around 20 hours use, I have pulled the spring from the left leg and its nicely covered in grease (when spring out forks are still sticky). Pulled out the top oil from the right leg and it had correct amount in (again, when right leg it apart still sticky).

I have covered the stanchions with Pace fork grease and they just wont free up (plushly).. any ideas peeps ?

Thanks

    keep using as they may just be a tight set of bushes, they will bed in.

    Thanks ... I did forget to mention that they are off my wifes D4W bike, they have the lowest (yellow) spring inside so its not a stiff spring. Do you think it maybe worth me having a go on them to help bed them in, since I am heavier and more aggressive ?
