Question for the gurus. I recently bought some hooks to hang my bike up, (small apt. and running out of room). I hang the bike upside down. My question is, is that ok for my fork. Being that the oil usually sits on the bottom of the fork and not the top. Let my know if this should be a concern or not. Thanks in advance 4 ur help. JR

KIck arse. My avatar is up. That was quick...

No problem there. When you bring the bike down, if you cycle the fork, it will feel like zero-damping for a few seconds while the oil settles to the bottom again, but there is no harm done.

My Marzocchis have never leaked oil while upside-down either.

It's totally safe

Actually, hanging your bike upside down is good for it, as oil lubricates places it would not normally be drawn to by gravity.
