Here are some pictures of the setup I pot together for rebuilding my forks. I haven't done the springs yet but will take more pictures when they come in and I install them. Basically what I did was bore holes into a work bench that correspond with the fork mounts in the top of the triple tree. Once the forks are compressed slightly and inserted int he holes...  The triple tree top can be clamped on.  The bottoms of the sliders are held up off the floor when the triple tree top is clamped on. They can also be raised up a bit through the holes in order to drain the oil.  I also clamped the triple tree top in a vice.  This allowed me to clamp the fork tube securely without the likely hood of damaging it that you would have just clamping it in a vice.  Very handy!! I intend to use the holes in the bench for when i install the new Progressive springs.

As a result, product availability will be hit or miss during the transition, both at the web store and at Cyclemax. SmartLights are discontinued with the possibility of occasional small batches being made if there is interest. The transition will be gradual and I will continue to make items as I am able. Please expect extended delivery times. If you have a specific need, please let me know and I will attempt to accommodate you. I thank you all for your friendship, support and loyalty. |
