I was giving my '03 Hardrock a good cleaning (had it upside down for the purpose) and figured I ought to lube the front fork (RST Capa TL) while I was at it. After throwing some grease on them, I pumped the shocks a few times, and then to my great dismay rusty water began to seep from the left adjustment knob
. Sure enough, the fork had been basically flooded with water without my knowlege for some period of time. I've pulled the slider off, and am now trying to figure out what to do to clean/fix the fork. Anyone have an idea of the best way to go about this?
I guess that explains the stiffness......
