air in front shocks

Post by Thomas J Komjathy » Tue Oct 15, 2002 12:00 pm

Oh, come on Chuck!!Maaaannn!!!! Really, it's the Schrader-valves at the top of the fork tubes. Remove the caps, press down on the little valve and air pressure is released. If you put air in, DO NOT use a high pressure air source, this could blow the seals out at best, or the fork could explode at worst. Use a low pressure pump, with a low pressure gauge. TK
