Special care and attention is needed when installing the dorado axle, you can't just push it in, tighten the end bolt then the pinch bolts. Doing this leaves a 2-3mm gap between the fork leg and the hub cone, this causes the seal to ovalize, therefore causing premature seal failure. To properly install, you must push the axle in, let the end of the axle stick out about 1mm, or just enough to feel a lip, dont make it flush, then tighten those pinch bolts, then you can tighten the end bolt, then finally the other pinch bolts. This will let the fork dropout seat tightly with the hub cone, and have proper stanchion alignment for the seal. Then your seals will last easily a whole season or more. Front wheel Installation is like an MX fork. If done improperly, you will see the axle between the hub cone and the fork dropout, thats bad.

Looks good, but it should have had all 4 east coast races together, not 2 out east, 2 out west, 2 out east again, tough on a lot of racers that cant afford that much back and forth.
