Fork oil air gap
Great search facillity: The following words were too common and not included in your search oil air gap !
Anyway, about to change my pointy fork springs to k-tech linears, but a bit confused about the proper air gap. Should it be?

Re: Fork oil air gap
So it's definitely springs out and compressed. Cheers
Any more offers on the gap?

Re: Fork oil air gap
Just one more question before I do it tommorow, if I fully compress the empty forks, won't they "lock up" as reported by others on this site???

Re: Fork oil air gap
Thanks all, it all went without a hitch. See my other thread "K-tech fork springs"
