- This is a basic video on how to patch or repair a scratch or ding in a fork tube. This technique uses Super Glue to fill in the damaged area. This repair could make fork seals last longer.

Great video and home remedy tip to save us all $$$. Thanks for sharing!
Very smart.....very, very helpful. Many thanks !!!
Thank you, this might help me a lot!
I just disassembled a brake caliper, in which one of the pistons turned out to have a bad spot. I might attempt to fix that piston with method (and, possibly, fork stanchions as well in the future). Thanks for the tip! :-D
Thanks for this video. I hope it works for me later today on my 1978 ke125
thank you I have heard clear nail polish works too . another good thing about having a woman in your life they have nail varnish LOL I just bought some mini files to sand down rust pitting .
You are a hero. I'm going to say a prayer that you win the lottery.
add mine too!!! haha
Great video pal, I know this is repairing a scratch but do you think it would work on pitting?
Thanks buddy.
Just performed this on a fork today. Filled scratches and cant really fill them anymore. Now I will have to see how long this method lasts. Thanks for the video man
Any update ?
Any update man???😅😅😅
Any update?
Update my guy?
Update bro?
Probably should have sanded it a bit right?
I hope you could help me with this:
I did exactly the same as on the vid. However, when i try to remove the glue it doesn't stick on to the hole.
It just removes everything.
I tried superglue as well as 'steel epoxy'.
The only thing I can suggest is that you clean the fork leg really well with soap and finish with rubbing alcohol. And, maybe wait a little longer before scraping the top of the glue off. I hope this helps.
I've rebuilt mine three times, and still leaks. Thanks for the tip I'm going to try it, Thanks again.
That worked, so far no leaking! Thanks bro!!
Is it still holding up?
@@CARLPHILLYupdate?
@@anojenthanikasalam1466 yes it’s still holding up, after 20,000 miles

Tried this on my mountain bike fork but the superglue doesn't stick well - the razor just takes it all off. I found that some 2500 grit wet & dry paper worked better than a razor for smoothing off the ridges, and instead of superglue I used JB Weld. The epoxy is thick enough when it's applied that you can scrape of the excess with the razor blade before it sets to leave a perfectly flush finish.
Try cleaning the tube with windex, then finish with rubbing alcohol. There must be no oil residue on the fork for the glue to stick. Wear latex gloves (or don't touch) to keep your body oil off as well. Peace be with you.
No - don't sand your fork tube. Maintain the surface "as is" as much as possible.
Is it cyanoacrylate glue?
大内大内高手 Hi, yes it is.
How long does this fix last? :D
