    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fork tube leak.

One of my fork tubes is leaking, and I was planning to ride my bike to my parents this weekend. It is approximately a 600 mile round trip. It will most likely be the last descent ride I get this season. temps are suppose to range between high 40's and 60's. And mostly sunny. Will it damage the bike to ride with the leaky seal, or just the ride? I plan to rebuild the forks, but not until I can't ride at all due to weather.

Thanks,
Billy Miles
 
It shouldn't damage the forks but the oil leaking onto your brake pads could be a reason for concern. But, only if you want to stop, it shouldn't affect going. :lol: :lol:

If it's leaking bad, tie a rag around it. This will keep the oil from dripping down the fork, or blowing back on the engine. Won't hurt a thing.
 
Ride on...you should be fine unless it is dumping fluid (which I doubt you had a catastropic failure).
