Warranty? What do you think?
So, I'm a really mellow rider and mostly stay on the easy trails.

I don't do anything too crazy or ride that fast.

A pro shop does all the maintenance on my bike and I'm very meticulous about taking good care of my prized possession.

Anyway, during tonight's ride, my fork developed a leaky seal, and nothing extreme happened, I didn't notice anything it just started leaking- I was just riding along.

I was thinking I should chew out the mechanic for doing shoddy work to my fork, and I'm gonna call the fork company owner when I can find his number and tell him how lousy his product is and how crappy the mechanic was.

I've included a photo of this crappy leaking fork seal, and I ask you- wouldn't you be pissed if your shop put a fork that might have a leaky seal on your bike, and that a fork company would sell a fork with crappy leaking seals on it?

I'm so mad I'm going to write a letter to the owner of the fork company right now!
