When I first bought this bike, I flushed out the old fork oil and put in new; I did not disassemble anything. A couple of rides later, BOTH forks suddenly start leaking. Now that I've got'em apart, I notice that the teflon coating on the bushings is shredded at one end on both the inside and outside bushings. Not the normal wear I've seen on other bikes. 95% of the teflon is intact and actually looks quite good. But the remaing 5% is shredded and flaking off....but only on the one edge. The debris is floating in the oil.
I'm not seeing any scarring on anything else. What causes this?
