Why it their Play in my Forks ? ?

Post by ihatefalling »

Weird....just noticed this.

2005....gold valves and racehtech springs.

If I hold the front brake and then push the bike forwards and down (to compress the forks. I get some "play".

It feels like...as soon as the fork starts to compress it "let's go" for about an inch then "grabs back". Meaning as I push down the fork has about an inch of "easy travel"...make sense?

Push down, feel resistance for just a bit, fork lets go and get's easy for about an inch, then grabs back, regular compression from then on.....
