Hi everyone,
Today i went to thetford forest and did the black cycle route, great fun and really enjoyed it especialy the bomb hole. Anyways when i got back home and inspected the bike i saw that the front shocks have gone right up while i have been cycling, when i bought the bike off the internet they said it was suntour shocks with 50mm travel and no preload, but these are SRS shocks with preload and they have gone over 10cm in travel so im just asking is this a bad thing and should they be checked, also there are grease marks where the forks have travelled. I have posted a pic any advice will be apreciated and please remember i am a newbie to all this so i realise that this may be a dumb question but i dont want to end up having major problems.
Thanks
Warren
PS that is dirt at the bottom not grease coming out of the shocks.
