jus because...

you guys were having all the fun re-building your forks, I thought I'd join in...

Here's to hoping that the seals hold tight :)

Yepper, I'm hoping my seals hold too. My bikes been on the stand since I sheared the axle holder stud so no chance to see if my fork rebuild was done properly...we'll see soon hopefully!

It looks like you have the crucial component to get the job done...a can of Point.

12 cans of point actually, just this one was lucky enough to be featured amongst the hallowed galleries of killin-it.

All said and done.
2 beers + 1 hour = figure out how to prop up my front end (no center stand, lift, common sense..)

2 beers + 2 hour = one fork leg. (commonly distracted by on-going front porch project. Gotta stay in good graces with the homefront, ifyaknowwhatimean...

3 beers + 30 minute = second fork. Aaron stopped over halfway through this one, 45 minutes and one beer were ommited from the record.

1 beer + 30 minute = reassemble and figure out how to get bike down from rickety, darwin award winning homemade bike lift (Aaron helped with this...)

Total? who knows, but in the short rides I have taken they have held up, time will tell!

and Dave will be relieved to know that I managed to save the "YamaLube" sticker and keep it in it's mostly pristine condition. Somethings are simply irreplaceable...
