Another problem. Tried to put the front wheel on the Eldo and axle
wouldn;t go thru. Discovered that the right fork leg is hanging down
about 1/2 inch lower. Now, I could just compress and bang the axle in
but what's causing that extra length and what would it do to my ride?
I've taken them both apart twice looking for answers. Both legs were
rebuilt by me with new seals, Wirth springs. Same fluid in each. PVC
spacers in each. Ideas??
And I thought this assembly part was going to be easier than the
rebuilds.!
Rear drive problem apparently solved. JB Welded the hole which was
likely a casting error. Plus Patrick reminded me about gaskets in
between each metal surface for flange shims. I forgot the top one.
Thanks
