Hello fellow riders. I used (more or less) the advice given here to change out fork seals and wound up with pretty tight brakes. The manual said torque forks at lower fork bridge first and proceed downwards etc., etc. Inquired at Micapeak (a great yank site) and got advice to work upwards from the axle to the fork bridge. This worked better, but still a bit tight (you can spin one.5 rev on the front tire before the tire stops. Probably need to adjust calipers too, eh? Any more advice on that matter? Am I worried for nothing? Thanks. Tom (Fairfield, WA, USA)..
