perhaps they were overfilled to the point that at bottoming the fluid had
no-where to go but out?
I can't recall which brand, but the aftermarket shocks all failed (3 bikes)
during a short stretch on Ewan and Charlie's Africa trip.I believe they had
only brought along one stock one as a spare. ( A sharp contrast to the first
trip, where they took the "eveything but the kitchen sink" approach) If it
has stopped leaking , maybe all is OK?
