GLWT. their suspension was notoriously unreliable.

I am not suprised. This is the second time I’ve worked on this. The first time, the fork was - and I still find this unbelievable - completely dry. It had been assembled without any lube or oil whatsoever. Somehow after rectifying it was still working, not even too badly either, but there were shavings of cf and alu throughout when I stripped it. It’s not the worst design either, but it’s just the internals were a bit thin.

yea, the oil issue was well known. lots of forks shipped without oil, and a lot of the ones that did didn't have enough. by all accounts i've heard it was a pretty good fork when it actually worked.
