Title: Fork question: what is this part?
Post by: scott_araujo on April 10, 2009, 11:45:18 PM

What is the part I've boxed in red? It's a little torpedo shaped piece of plastic that covers the upper part of the damping rod. My guess is that it is a guard to protect the damping rod from contact with the spring if it buckles inside the fork tube at high compression. Can anyone tell me for sure?

You're correct, AFAIK.
