Scary Tubes



I starting taking apart the fork tubes, first the gaters, then the springs. One tube looks very nice, but I'll show you the other one here.






























I need to smooth out these fork tubes if I ever want to have good oil seals. Very tempting to just buy a new fork tube on ebay for about $60, but that's what I've spent already on the whole thing! That would mean the forks would cost $120.

So I'm stuck with these. I found a post on a forum about repairing these things.
