Hello Ruan Posted November 3, 2018 Share Hey guys,I am looking at getting a new fork and already have my eyes set on one but the fork does have some marks on the one stanchion. It is at a bike shop and I was told these are fine and wouldn't be an issue.But could they possibly be an issue or become an issue? From what I can tell it looks like they are fine but you know I want to be extra sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me rida my bicycle Posted November 3, 2018 Share Looks like little chips should not be able to notice that when riding or cause any issues. If it's a great price I would say go for it if it's a average price I would look for 1 without marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted November 3, 2018 Share Run your fingers over the marks with your eyes closed. Can you feel them? Yes - stay away, No - should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alouette3 Posted November 3, 2018 Share They shouldn't be an issue.If they have sharp edges and can damage your dust wipers and seals then I would be worried. They also higher up on the stanchion. Use it as a bargaining tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
