|   Zoke bushing ? | namaSSte
Apr 29, 2003 6:06 AM | | I saw some recent post relating to this somewhat but I noticed some play between the stanchions and lowers of my Marathon. Last night, it seemd to get really bad. The fork still cycles ok but the play bl@ws! Thing is, this fork is only about two months old. Any idea what could be casuing this so early on or is it not the bushings at all that are casuing the play. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Once the fork is into its travel, I don't notice it at all. I think the bushing play in my fork is pretty decent for a five year old fork, but a new fork should be pretty stiff... |

I don't want to damage it by riding it that way so I thought I'd ask. As new as it is, I was hoping it was just in need of some oil and a good tightening. |
