    Not mentioned on the "diy" lists, do I really need it?

    Not needed - correctly sized pipe will do.

    @Howard is this where a thick pipe will do? What diameter do I need to go for? :D

    Yes, chunky PVC pipe. Take the lockout dial off. Diameter needs to be roughly the same as the steerer. Thickness - thicker the better, but not so thick it will transmit force through whatever gubbins the lockout dial / nob attaches to.

    Super castle tool

    "When removing the Lefty cartridge, make sure you have removed the preload air pressure from the fork. Don't worry, you only need to get punched in the face once with a cartridge to remember forever."
    LOL
    OK no way around this. But some people say that the newer castle tool doesn't fit old forks, it's too long! So I may have to hack this or get a used one.

    You will need this.

    Stuffs I can borrow if needed: Headset press (not for 1.5" forks though hrmpf)

    You won't need a headset press - the cups should be fine.

  • Grand tx, I better go get the castlenut tool then.

    Where did you get yours? qwertycycles is sold out, and getting it from Germany is going to be £40 due to shipping. Ouch :(

    Nothing on EvilBay either.

    Peeked under the o-ring, it doesn't look corroded under it and there's grease under it. Good...

    Found a 70mm air cylinder kit in the USA if it has to get that far.
