Hi all
wondered if anyone had serviced a p[air of these hybrid suspension forks and if there were any hitches or gliches to look out for? Any need for special tools or spares. They're about 6 years old and I got the bike off a friend who had it sitting out in all English weathers for about a year. Needless to say they are completely gummed up and I want to give them a bit of tlc.

BTW can you use cooking oil in cheep forks like these? I know you can get away with it in cheep disc brakes.

cheers

Dave
