With so much attention drawn to the fork issue on GS/GSA LC models, I'm concerned. Is the fork tube allowed to be rotated by hand or should this be tight? Did a quick test yesterday-pulled down rubber boot, visually checked gap between fork tube and tube plug-seemed fine, twisted the fork tube by hand, it rotates, did the same to the other one, same outcome. Is this normal? Should I be concerned that the fork stanchions have failed?
