    Pictures of home made tools for fork stripping

    I've been doing my front forks but decided to make my own tools. The first is a fork compression tool. Consists of some thick walled pipe with two 10mm threaded rod to engage the spring spacer. It has two nuts on each rod to correctly set depth.

    It then relies on two long threaded rods, engaging a bar that fits through the fork bottom, to compress the spring.

    A bit tedious to use but you can compress the fork on your own and the cost R30.00.

    I can do a drawing for anyone interested.

    Above the compression tools is a TLS fork for size comparison.

    See pic below of cartridge removal and stripping tool. Basically 500mm long 20mm OD water pipe with two couplings attached.

    The couplings must have a 30mm OD. The one is a straight coupling used for removing cartridge. The other is a T-piece coupling used for stripping cartridge from compression valving.

    The T-piece also doubles in catridge removal for allowing a piece of rod to be put through to hold the tool.

    A simple shape is cut in coupling to engage the cartridge. See second photo.

    Time to make 10 minutes and cost R20.00.

    Above the tool is a fork cartridge.

      Close up of T-piece

      See a close up of the T-piece of fork cartridge holding tool.

      It's a pity Doug is here to see the work I've done on the forks, as between his site and Chris (ama530), I would not have coped........

                Actually it's a database fix so it's just me that can do it. Part of the big site upgrade that got fubar'ed last year.

                  Maybe so, but I completly forgot to even have a look. I reckon I am getting old.
