informative stuff. I always pre soak the sponge seals before installation. - not sure it makes a lot of difference, but its served me well :)

Got the method from Doddy from GMBN Tech when he showed how he serviced forks.
I watched this video once before. I had to come back and check it out again cuz it's now my turn to service mine! Thanks for a great tutorial!!!!

How did you get on ?
Hi, just started to watch this.. I got an ICAN SNO 4 fatbike recently with bluto forks.. and now they are knocking or have something lose.. Thought it was the headset at first but pretty sure on it being the forks.. hopefully I get some servicing knowledge for this issue.

That is cool Did look at the SNO4 should my Bucksaw cease. What is the axle width 197mm or 177mm rear? The Bluto can make a small knock click sound when fully extended end stop.

@@North3rdMedia it's a 150mm. I notice whilst riding last night. Just had a nother look at it.. when I lift up the front of the bike by the handlbars up and down I notice a dropping noise or like something lose.. checked the rotor thats fine.. doing both brakes and trying to rock the bike back n forth is better the headset is fine.. doing this and reaching down to feel the metal rod ..(no idea what that is and I did see your vid but need to go back over your vid) the 5 mm hex removal tool took that rod out... it seems nice and firm so no idea what is going on with it

Sorry I meant the rear axle width. Yes my Bluto if I just lift off the ground there is dead end feeling plus may be a hit type sound.

@@North3rdMedia Okay so that may be normal... rear axle no idea it is wider than my Hope 170mm so perhaps 180-90. I don't doing work on my forks and headset.. in the past it has been a struggle.. even now I am kinda slow getting to get replacement headset bearings so I go look on the ICAN official site and all I can find is "integrated H373" bearings but the google search engine comes up with a long line of pics showing bearings that do not have that number perhaps I have inherited a bike frame which is discontinued and only they made that specific type of thing... like you have to buy into us.. not sure yet but anyways in the past searching for bearings for headsets wihtout knowing specifically what you have is hard.. People will offer up "just get the bearings for the frame" but what if the bike is 2nd hand and they made all sorts of mods incl a different make of these bearings.. i will need to get round to it soon.. I ntoice brown water flowing down over the frame after a wash coming from the headset... and I keep oiling it....think google search engine needs to improve though.
