Hi all. So I noticed this morning an ugly splatty puddle under my left fork area. When I bought the bike, the owner infomed me that a shop had told him the fork seals would need to be replaced "sometime." I have only put 24 miles on the bike, and I have no idea how many he put on. So my question is, is this something a non mechanical person like me can fix, or am I better off taking it someone who knows what they are doing. Also, is it safe to ride with this issue? Or willit only make it worse or be dangerous?
