Seals are good, but built by humans.
But Risse quickly replaced that cartridge, no questions asked, so I don't hold it against them. Later I added Speed Springs, which helped some, but the GEM made a far bigger difference. It's hard to reccomend this cartridge at full price these days, when the newest generation of Judys work much better and can be had for not much more. But GEMS are often on sale and can breath new life into an old fork. Well worth the bucks and the minor bother of installation.
