Great 21Q! This is exactly the kind of info I am needing. Thanks so much for these responses.

I think I will probably go towards the fast turn-in side of things to begin with.

From what is being said here, it looks like the legs have not been extended. Can't trust them now. I had better take apart the forks and check them out for myself. Just watched the Race-Tech video. The job is not a big problem, but there's alott of ways to screw it up.

Better yet - may bring them over to European Cycle Services in Middletown, NY. I trust Steve and Jay. They have the seal drivers and other tools that I don't. They also have Race tech experience. Every once in a while I guess it's OK to defer to another mechanic's ability. This may be one of those times. It's a safety issue now, and another side-trip.

Thanks again for help.
