The Crappy German Posted June 14, 2010 Share Hi! I've ordered a new Reba race which I had delivered today. It is still in the bag, however it's oily on the outside. How can I check if the oil is leaking from somewhere inside without taking it out of the clera plastic bag it's wrapped in? Is it normal that this for leaks a bit when it lies for too long? Or upside down? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewie911 Posted June 14, 2010 Share It's not that big a deal if a fork leaks a little oil, but it shouldn't really. I know my answer is weird. You can ask johan bornman if you are concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crappy German Posted June 14, 2010 Share Johan will come and make his statement, I'm sure! Well, it may not be weird, however I don't want it to leak even before I've put it on the bike! Which should be understandable. I've had another one before and nothing leaked there! thanx tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewie911 Posted June 14, 2010 Share O ok. I also have reba race and it's oily at the lockout, but I've been told that it's not all that bad. I also won't like that on a brand new fork though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crappy German Posted June 18, 2010 Share Thx for the comments. It doesn't make sense to put a fork on the bike when if it leaks before usage. I returned it and opted for a different fork. Happy World Cup - Germany's gonna kick ass again this afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
