[Mossleymonster]

Well, yesterday was very enlightening.

Went to see Teut @TWsuspension with my forks to get the oil changed as I was sure there was more in one leg than the other.

Lo and behold, the air gap in one fork was 120mm and about 50mm in the other!
Also the top nut was not tight on the damper rod and the hominid that had done this had also had hold of the damper rod with what must have been Mole grips.

Teut's words when he saw it "SHAMEFUL"

Anyway, all stripped cleaned checked and new 7.5w oil at 120mm gap.

Came home, reassembled and went for a blurt, different bike, still a bit too stiff for my liking but it's now supple over bumps, predictable and you can actually put the thing where you want it, an unqualified success.

Am going back to Teut on Monday with the bike and we are going to have a little play around with the settings.

I really feel sorry for the previous owner of this bike who'd been lied to and stolen from, had his life put in danger by some Chimps masquerading as engineers. He paid these arseholes £497 for what they did to his bike.
