Hi, got some new forks, WWSTWD?
Drop the lower legs and add 5ml or 15wt oil in from new?
Probably depends where you buy them from.
Likes of Chain Reaction/Tredz etc, I'd drop the lowers and check the oil. The Pikes that came on my Hightower from Stif were well oiled (as I found out when I dropped the lowers).
Some of the suspension places take them apart to check oil etc before shipping.
Yes CRC, but in box.
Unless they’ve come from a fork specialist who’s done it, do it yourself. Can’t hurt to give them a check even if they are well lubed it’s such a quick job.
Cheers, will do this tomorrow.
Stephen.
Update - 10min job revealed they had a good quantity of oil. Seals were a bit dry of grease, so added a smear of Stendec and reoiled up. No harm done and now at least I know.
Much better to drop the lowers and be sure than run them dry and abrade the stanchion coating.
