Yeh.
There's just some cracking round the top of the rubber bit of the seal.
No oil on the forks or anything indicating an issue.
I was just having a look the other evening because I thought there was something off with the forks (it was actually just shabby London roads - I only see the road in daylight one way).
Mainly I want to keep costs down on a bike I hopefully will swap for something bigger in the near future. So I reasoned that if I wait until the seals are totally gone and the forks get damaged it will cost more.
But actually if they're fine for another 6-12 months then maybe it's not worth worrying about. So the home fixes are really useful.
