    If you measure the travel of any modern fork I have worked on then it can be seen that the this brings the slider very close to the bottom yoke. That gap is much less than needed to accommodate a concertina'd gaiter.  Having always put gaiters on my bikes previously I was a bit annoyed, but not so much as to lose a good bit of the fork travel by fitting them.

    I imagine the same applies to the neoprene tubes.

    You will not loose any travel on forks with any. 

  2. Spin fan blade with hand. It should spin free. Have seen one vertigo broking small frame tab and blocking fan movement

    Bypass thermostat connecting the two wires on thermostart. If fan spin. The thermostat is the one.

    Connect fan on 12v from a car battery. It should work

    Look for any fault connection going back the wires from fan untill magneto.

  3. Biggest chance to fix it: Change fluid.

    Check caliper piston returning (*) them with fingers. It should be hard but same effort on all four.

    * when returning brake calliper pistons for replacing pads or anything else, always clean pistons first. Or you will inject dirt into system.

    * cut a small chamfrer on new pads. The idea here is ease disc placement when reinstalling wheels. This way you will not need to return calliper pistons every time you deal with wheel maintenance.

  4. Sales will drop dramatically untill Gasgas give a new good real healty sign. Again

    During this time new and exiting products will be shown by competitors, shinking even more Gasgas market share.

    Then they will say that sales are under what they expected?

    What Gasgas need is a good marketing plan supporting the new return and a proactive communication people. Nobody can relly on unions information when your job depends on it.

  5. Big question: They will put Cabestany ridding electric bike only on these trialgp events or he will promote the bike from now?

    For me, this will show if they trust about electric bike beeing an viable option on next years or if it is just a fashion.

  6. Try using sealed bearings as they come. Poping out the seals can damage them.

    High pressure water is number one enemy of greased items. Keep them out axle area.

    Check spacer lenght. If they was smasched a bit. (For over tighten wheel nut) Bearings will be axial loaded.

  7. Aluminium forks have smaller internal diameter.

    Maybe top riders feel some difference on flex and some kind of dampening since steel forks can flex more. At least on frames, not everybody love aluminium.
