38mm Ceriani fork rebuild

[harpmeister]

I am just about to rebuild my Ceriani forks, unfortunately I didn't pay attention to which way round the valve body (according to the parts manual) at the bottom of the slider went, it has a step/lip in it and I would like to know which way round it goes.

I am not talking about the actual valve assembly which I know how to assemble (not the way it is shown in the various manuals) but the bottom valve body item number 26 in the parts manual.

This one is a bit vague ..... but the right way round. Which part # on this list are you referring too?

On that diagram it is part number 35, the part has a chamfer at one end which I think faces downwards but just want to check before I put it all together.

You are correct. The chamfer is to the bottom of the forks.

Harpmeister, can't remember exactly as it is to long ago that I rebuild mine, but check part 35 sitting against the holed disc part 36. It might be the intention of the chamfer to keep the oil path through the oil holes in the disc (part 36) clear when mounted.

Found a picture of mine, looking at it, it seems chamfer comes to top.

We are talking about the sleeve at the left side of your photo ....... bevel/chamfer should be pointing to the left.

Viewed left to right as from the bottom.
