On this same note Peter, I recall you using a gas charged can of some very smelly chemical as a parts cleaner when you stripped those forks down. What was it? What are other substitutes for it? Would, say, brake cleaner work?


p.s. If I have a 25% discount coupon for GMD, can that be applied to the fork/shock rebuild deal this winter, or no?
