TO REMOVE A FORK INNER TUBE
Start by removing the fork slider, release the pinch screw in the fork crown, the tube
can then be pulled or driven out from the handlebar and fork crown lug.
REAR SUSPENSION
The rear wheel is mounted in a fork that is hinged just behind the gear box. The hinge
has robust plain bearings lubricated from a reservoir of 1½ fluid ounces (42·6 c.c.) of
heavy gear oil which is sufficient to last almost indefinitely. Provision is, however, made
for replenishment should same be required. A small screw will be observed in the
right-hand end cap of the hinge bearing, upon removal of this screw, oil can be injected
into the reservoir, the screw orifice operating as a level control.
