    hey guys long time no post! just got the typhoon out ready for the summer, but ive noticed that when i press the front brake when im rolling forward it feels like there is movement inside the fork legs where the springs etc sit? can anyone help? and if it's a case of replacement could anyone advise some good aftermarket ones?
    many thanks

    Does it sound like a clicking noise when you press your front brake and you feel it move slightly?

    hey thanks for the reply and yes i get a small knocking noise from the front forks, i have tightened up the steering head bearings as i thought this could be the problem, but the forks seem to move up and down quite freely? i think i'm just gonna take it round to my local bike shop in the morning and see what they say ;)
