[QUOTE="James, post: 463829, member: 27207"] I have my Showa twin chamber forks disassembled. I noticed that one set of outer tubes has substantially less friction than the other. Keep in mind that there are no internals and it is only seal/slider friction that I am feeling. The tubes appear to be round, straight, and undamaged. The first set of tubes will stay in position if fully compressed. The second set of tubes will extend fairly quickly due to gravity. The friction/action is smooth and consistent in both legs, one is just freer than the other. Neither fork was leaking...they are apart for a revalve. Which is proper? If both are ok, is it normal to have such a difference in seal/slider friction on tubes from the same set of forks. These forks have about 7 hours on them. [/QUOTE]
