Love it :lol .......On the other hand, when you were rebuilding the forks, when you've got a leg fully collapsed like when you're checking the air gap, place a zip tie around the stanchion tight against the fork seal. When the forks are back on the bike that zip tie will be quite a distance from the seal. Then place a second zip tie nearer the seal, then under heavy braking, the lower zip tie will be moved up the stanchion. The length of the "unused" section of fork will be the distance between the lower edges of the two zip ties. As long as that is at least 10mm, then you know you've got sufficient "reserve" in case you hit a pothole etc before the fork bottoms out. What a pallava.
