    If you're OCD like myself, you will strip them down again.

    Normal people will just use a cable tie for sag setting and re fit it at the next service.

    OCD. If you're gonna do a job and all that. It's those bloody frame bumpers which are the biggest pain in the arris

    Cut O ring tidily with sharp blade, put on fork, tiny spot of super glue and job done.

    It'd be hard trying to type what an ar$e you were with stanchions glued into lowers and hands glued to stanchions :D

    I find spraying them with some IPA or other evaporating liquid really helps with removal and installation. At least you can just lower the leg out of the crowns unlike with a single crown fork.

    Yup, forgetting it with singlecrowns is more annoying.

    PS, lock-on bumpers ftw :lol: Bit bulky though, not working as well on the new bike as they did on the herb.
