Hi, friends. Hope you're all enjoying your autumn riding.
I had "Flicker" into the shop recently, and my mechanic advised me to keep an eye on my front forks. He pointed out that they looked slightly hazy, with a few darker lines starting to form -- probably an indication that the fork seals are going downhill, he warned me.
Never having seen a fork seal going kaput before, I thought I'd ask the more experienced members what signs to look for that mean it's time to get the seals replaced.
Should I take "Flicker" back to the shop now and get this dealt with? Or is there some interim sign that means the next step is seeing drips?
Thank you,
Woodswoman
