    I hade a problem on my front fork, the chrome pealed of and I didn’t understand why. So I bought a new pair of used forks on ebay.
    The only thing I took from my new fork was the inner fork tube. The rest of the parts I took from my old forks. Including the Teflon bushings (is that the right word?)
    After one hour off riding the chrome has pealed of from my new inner forktube to. So now I wonder why this happened.
    I noticed that some of the Teflon on the Teflon bushing is missing and there is a scratch in it. You can se the brass at some places. Can this be the source of the problem?
    Is this the right place fore this tread? I noticed that I hade put it in "common topics". I ride a Wr 250 from 2006 so maby it shuld be in the 2 stroke forum?

    Maybe the buskong needs replacing. What concerns me is the time factor, I suggest you look at the fork alignment. Maybe the worn bushing is predisposing to wear on the leg due to possibly having the front axel out of alignment

    yep, sounds like something is not aligned correctly adding to more wear on the internals
