mr joey

hi all,just wondering i keep my bike under the stairs upside down does this do my forks any harm? especially if its been a couple of weeks just that when i push down on the forks they seem dead responsive and ramp up abit but then settle down?? thanks

Your forks are obviously not leaking, or you would have mentioned it, but it seems as if it's nothing more than a little sag, if they're air forks, you can adjust that with air pressure.

Personally I never store bikes upside down as I don't believe that inverting the forks for prolonged periods of time is good for the seals

A few months back I was given a Cove Handjob hardtail that had been stored upside down for quite some time and the fork seals (RS Sid) were leaking when I received it. As I know the owner and history of the bike, I can only attribute the problem to the way it was stored

Supposed to be fine, but as Ray said, I don't do it.
