Re: Fork seal saver things
Made a seal mate shaped thing out of a juice bottle (Tesco fresh apple & mango for those who care). Removed the dust covers, cleaned out the crud, ran the apple and mango fork tool around a couple of times, found some grit on it. Did it again, came back clean but oily. Pumped a bit and after the existing oil had been cleared it stayed clean. Either it's fixed it or I've now run out of fork oil.
No real loss of oil during the process, about 1/10th of a teaspoon full; nothing shot out, no dramas and seemingly a fix.
May well need to have a deeper fix at some point in the future, but for now we're good to go again.
