Caliper leaks?
Written by ascterransin on 6/19/2010 at 04:45 am

Yes, a couple of people have had the anti-dive seal deteriorate and start
leaking. I haven't opened mine up but I would guess it would be messy and you'd
lose a lot of fork oil trying to replace it on the spot. It's not that hard to
change the fork oil and seals while you're at it. The bummer is waiting for
parts to come in and being down during prime time riding season :(

Because I'm on a roll with photos today:
