I'm in for a ribbing....
« on: June 21, 2010, 04:36:08 PM »
... at the local bike shop:

I took in my DR forks, having already done the seals myself.  Normally I would get them to do it, but with the wealth of spannering experience gained racing (and of course, the ownership of tamworth's plastic supercar).  I reckoned I could do it myself:  Coversation is something like:

"Matt, I've done the seals but they're still leaking"
 
"Leave them there, I'll get on to them later"
 
3pm: <<Brring Brring! Brring Brring!>>   "Ello, Burwins"
 
"matt, its andy duncan, how did you get on with my DR forks?"
 
"You put the seals in upside down you fucking idiot scottish wanker"
 
Ahhhh!!

You should have told them you were used to working on upside down forks  ;D

Were the forks upside down when you did them or the right way up?

It must be a Team Thumper thing as I've just changed the seals on the RS and I'm sure I put one of them in the wrong way round. I will soon find out when I change my current knackered pair for my re-furbished spare set. Wish me luck!
