We did a few fork overhauls, servicing, inspecting and focused on each individual part and its function. The school has a ton of different forks and parts with cutaways so that we could see the parts in action.
There was a ton of discussion about suspension history, fork design, damping, compression, rebound, lockouts, springs, spring rates, oils etc.
We messed with all the gizmo's and gadgets and did more procedures like removing and installing bushings.
