Top yoke

[Flak]

Did you literally just 800grit it?

Any lacquer or coating?

I would be tempted to do this to my forks, but assume they will just corrode again, only quicker.

I was in two minds whether to lacquer it or not, I even had some in stock. In the end, I decided not to. The bike is my winter hack/wet bike so time will tell how long it lasts. I'll update the thread in a year or so.

The fork bottoms definitely need to be lacquered as they are right in the salt-zone. (Unless you never ride in the wet of course).
