Glenn,

The forks worked fine when(they had started to leak, so it was time for new seals) I took them in and for all I know they will work fine once back on the bike, his diagnosis of too little rebound was from him working them by hand in his shop. He replaced the seals and refilled the forks and gave up on bleeding them. I am not sure what he did with the base valves other than he showed me where the nut that surrounds the adjuster on the bottom is completely rounded. He said he was able to replace the seals but not able to take the base valves apart. Once again all of this is greek to me so sorry for the confusion. I am now seeing that in an effort to save a little money I will likely be shelling more than I needed to in the first place. I am not very excited about sending them out again and I am sure my wife would be even less excited. One last question what brand of fork is most similar to the Ohlins? I have found lots of stuff on the web but none of it about Ohlins in particular.

Thanks, Paul
