[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 125013, member: 22283"] The fluid in your forks tends to want to oxidize. With that it releases gas. This gas will build up in the area above the fluid. Opening the little screws on the top of the forks, while the bike is on a stand will release this built up gas. During this oxidation, another fine product that is produced is aluminum oxide. That happens to be what many grinding disks are made out of because of its great abrasion properties. Good idea to change your fork fluid periodically to get rid of the acidic fluid and any abrasives and/or aluminum particulate that may be in it. Bleeding your forks during assembly and oil change is a differnt matter entirely. Hope I was of some help. [/QUOTE]
