Hi Guys,
I'm having some issues with my forks. My forks started to leak oil , and obviously I changed the seals .
Bought a set of the cheap fork seals and had a friend over to change them for me .
After about 3 rides , they started leaking again. Rode with them like that for a while.
Before my best whip comp came up , I changed the fork seals again , this time using SKF fork seals which my suspension tech recommended. I did the change myself this time , and after a few rides again , its started leaking as well .
Do any of you know why my forks could be leaking even after fresh seals were installed ?
Any feedback is appreciated.

You cutting the old seals to drive the new ones in just tells more of the story.
If you're going to spend the money on SKF seals then spend the money on a $2 seal bullet and a $40 seal driver and do things right.
