evenin lads,

wee question re: bedding in fork seals

within the past hour I've just finished fitting new dust/oils seals to my Marzocchi 66's...while I was at I also replaced the oil.

seals are genuine Marzocchi ones, oil is 7.5wt...filled to 190cc (or near as damm it)

after doing all this I noticed that I'm not getting the correct 35% sag when setting things back.

just wondering if there's a bedding in period for the "stiction" to loosen off on new seals.....hopefull then I'll be able to get full sag.

cheers 🙂

I pay a lackie to ride my bike for the 10 hours it takes to break them in.

I'm not sure I could handle the indignity of experiencing a sub optimal ride.

Seriously...the stiction won't affect rag when riding.
