Just been pointed out that due to the powder coating reaching the insides of the fork yoke clamps, it is unlikely that I will be able to put the stanchions back in with removing the paint. You can see here how beautifully the insides have been painted. Oh dear!
And indeed the fork stanchion will not go in.
And this is why. It is trying to scrape the paint off.
Is this the way to do it?
