Very clever and a tad more cost effective than the Park Tool equivalent https://www.parktool.com/product/dummy-fork-df-1?category=Frame %26 Fork Steady Spin, BuffsVintageBikes and Riaan H 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye, I tried the syringe but this one was too bloody tight so i was jiggling a phillips screwdriver in the try get a gap and obviously jiggled too hard. I normally do ok just getting a silicone nozzle into the end and then squirting soapy water in from a spray bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically like taking masking tape off. I built this for a friend, only part I struggle with was this bloody grip, Otherwise I built it from the ground up including brake bleeds etc. Hope nothing falls off on his test ride tomorrow justinafrika, Jackal355, BaGearA and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on ESI grips back in the day when I used to have a Single Speed as my every day ride. When out the saddle grinding up a climb, the way they "squished" used to irritate me. Since then a thinner firmer grip has been my preferred choice. The ESI's are pretty comfy though for longer rides. I am sure your friend will be loving that bike build!

We have to do this at least once a month. It's the best way of getting decent leverage and decent stability. DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted March 14, 2022 Share I torqued the suspension bushes on my Scott what it says on the bush(15NM - I only torqued to 13) and it Cracked, it going to cost big if I can not find someone to tig the flanges back on, hopefully a Welder at my work can help me out.
