Subject: Re: Front Fork Problems


Hi,

I changed the forkoil 3 weeks ago and I hoped to solve another problem
than yours.

When crossing a short uneveness, or a bump (Unebenheit, kleiner Huckel,
hervorstehende Steine in verkehsberuhigten Zonen) in moderate speed (the
fork must have a chance to react) I hear a "Clack-Sound". It only happens,
when the impulse is short. Fo example on gravel roads. I tried everything,
but could not locate the cause.

New fork oil did not help!
Could it be the stearing head?
Could the bearing be too loose?
Does anyone know a method to check it?
Perhaps a hard break at a low speed?
Is it possible to adjust it without special tools?

Thanx in advance!

Arnd
