Suntour rebound - loose knob

[PCeBiker]

Yeah should the entry on the fork bottom be closed due to moist and dust?

Thx

Suntour forks are supposed to be pretty good at dealing with real world conditions.

Everything all up in there is almost certainly sealed to keep everything out.
(Even the tool apparently. )

But if it were me, I'd try to put an O-ring on that "tool".

It looks like it's got a groove in the base for an O-ring?

Maybe yours is missing?


Might as well try to store the tool in its designated spot.
Even just a wrap of tape around the base to make it fit more snuggly and stop falling out.

If it were me, and I had no need to remove it, I'd put a tiny drop of crazy glue or loctite on the tip of the Allen key, and glue it in place.

Just a tiny drop. You don't wanna seize the whole mechanism and stop it from rotating.
