Just getting to the water pump seal is a major pain... but I guess that's what winter projects are for...
We are on bike 3 of the quest to build Nanci a Revolution II class race bike for the upcoming season.
So far this one is better than the first two. Other than the usual missing fasteners (this one might be a new record though!) the only really strange thing I have found is they used actual gear oil like you would put in the differential on your car in the transmission (RIP clutch plates...).
The biggest surprise was it really
did have a new top end! No copper crush washers under the head nuts but hey whats a little coolant on the garage floor? At least it actually had coolant in it. Clean coolant at that.
I finished servicing the shock last night, it needed the bottoming bumper replaced and had some signs of oil on the shaft so new seal head along with fresh oil.
Once I get the wheel and suspension bearings changed I can switch to the front suspension. I'm a bit worried because they said they changed the fork seals.... They aren't leaking so someone must of, but I'm hoping they sent that one out [pray].
