|   Hang a bike upside down | PhesterAZ
Feb 22, 2002 10:58 AM | | Well, two weeks ago I crashed and broke my collar bone (for the fifth time no less). Since I won't need my bike for a while I want to hang it in my garage.
My question is, is it bad for the fork to be suspended upside down for an extended period? I have an RS Judy Race and I don't want it hosed when I am healed. |

Feb 23, 2002 3:55 PM | | OUCH !!!!! 5x collarbone break, man, sorry to hear THAT...dunno 'bout the RS, but I think I remember reading somewhere (I have a Manitou SX-R) that you could lose a small amount of oil dripping out the top of leg if inverted for a length of time - no biggie....you might wanna consider putting cardboard or something under fork area, but I don't think there's any real harm in hanging yer bike upside down (especially considering the beating it takes when ya ride it...hanging upside down is nothin')....
...hope ya heal quick :)

When i take it down, it takes a few compressions to get the oil back to flowin so it feels like it's undamped for alittle while, but it gets to normal pretty quick. |
