Rich,
My 70 Ambo "squeeks" too. Cause is the front brake cable rubbing on the
eyelet.

Subject: Squeaking forks. Seals?
| Been riding the Ambo a lot since it has been so nice in the Bay Area. One thing is starting to bug me though and that is a squeaking from the front suspension. This isn't from the steering but sounds like the springs under compression and rebound. My seals seem to be ok as they are only weeping |
| smallest amount of oil that I sometimes wipe off the chrome covers. I drained, flushed and replaced the fork oil about six months ago. Maybe I used noisy fork oil ;-? Does anyone (Mark?) have any ideas about the cause and cure for this squeak? I have learned to ignore and get used to a lot of things but this is getting to be annoying. All ideas and jokes will be listened to, Rich |
