Hi folks,
While I've got my forks off the bike to upgrade my steering head to tapered roller bearings I noticed that some oil was leaking from one of the oil seals, so I'll dismantle them further to put in new seals. The chrome oil seal holder has been rubbing against the shroud and starting to wear through to the base metal. As well as that , I'll probably make a hash of unscrewing them from the bottom bits, so I'll most likely need to replace them. I see that there are chrome ones and stainless ones available.
Any advantage to the stainless ones? They're a bit more pricey than the chrome ones, but will they be more resistant to wear from the shrouds?
While I'm on, do you guys (and any gals out there) have any tips on getting the shrouds 'straight' so they don't rub? One's rubbed the seal holder, as I've described, the other rubs the mudguard.
thanks,
John
