Subject: Re: Changing fork oil


Hi Micha,

you don't need to strip down the fork to change the oil, although this
would ease the process by far! It's also a good opportunity to clean
brakes, grease shaft and bearings, to check everything ...

Actually, the idea of the syringe is not so silly. In order to get the
correct/same qt in both tubes, it's far better to measure the oil level
from the top of the tube (see one of my previous mail). To do that, I use
a syringe with a tube that I drive in the fork tube the number of mm the
oil level is supposed to be. Then, I just aspire the exceeding oil. Very
easy!

Pierre
