"With the stanchion carefully set aside, Kolja does one of the things that he says makes the biggest difference to the feel of the fork—he works the bushings. With mass manufacturing the tolerances for the bushings is tight, opening the bushings does have an effect on the life of the fork, which would mean the fork would need servicing much sooner.
