Hi, I'm havin trouble with a technical query I'm trying to post in the Workshop forum. Either there's a technical problem or somebody (moderator or hacker?) is playing kiddy games, as its dissappeared on three occasions now?

Please can somebody advise what may be happening here?

Thanks

    Done that, and what looks like the first post is sitting in the 'General' forum, with only one response - not surprising really as its a technical query...

    Any idea why a tech query has been moved to General...???

    It's not really...

    Right, OK, so let me get this straight, I'm half way through a fork service on my Tora's, bits all over the bench, trying to get some idea how long the internal o-rings may last (through other RS owners experiences) so I can figure if its worth shelling out £22 for a service kit.

    Or whether, at three years old, and seemingly OK on visual inspection, it would be reasonable to leave them till next year and just carry out the clean / oil change?

    Just trying to figure out how this is less of a technical query than say "Are my bars too wide for XC" and "how to clean a dirty chain"...

    Not sure who monitors the forums, but I would have thought if this was considered non-technical (christ knows how anybody would come to that conclusion, but...) then whoever moved / deleted the post would at least have the courtesy to add a response to the moved post explaining why, or in the case of a deleted post, a simple PM would achieve the same result. Is that expecting too much?

    As it is I'm left scratching my head why a 100% workshop query is not considered a workshop query?

    bertberr - i agree with you.

    I've moved it back to the workshop section.

    OK, thanks for that, and in hindsight my original post could probably have done with a bit more detail to make it more of a 'technical' workshop query as opposed to a 'general' workshop query, so I'll pop in now and edit the post to add a bit more meat.
    Cheers
