[QUOTE="RageD, post: 211179, member: 4512"] Hi guys, Yesterday I warmed up and took the bike out for a quick ride around the neighborhood to do a quick inspection. When I was done, one thing I noticed was that there appeared to be oil at the foot of my fork near the brake caliper. There wasn't much, but enough to show a bit of build up. As far as I remember, it wasn't there before the ride. Similarly, I cleaned it off and looked again this morning and it's still all clean. Has anyone else seen this before? Is this maybe a slow leak from my fork seal? I looked at the caliper and everything there appeared to be dry so I don't think it's brake fluid. As a result, the only thing I can think of is fork oil. This basically brings me to my next question: when do you guys typically rebuild your forks? I haven't tackled this job yet, but I have actually mostly been waiting for a seal to die. It then occurred to me, perhaps there is a bit of maintenance here I would want to do before the fork assembly fails? :) Thoughts? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
