    Looking for some help here. Was out on my ride this evening and all of a sudden my fox float 32 fork died on me. It was while it compressed the rod with the rebound flew out and out squished loads of oil all over me. What have I done and how do I fix it? I’m not the most technically minded!
    Thanks as ever!

    Yeah top of the left hand leg. Sorry picture is rubbish but this is what it like now, I found the cap and the rod had completely flown out so I stuck it back in for the purpose of not losing it. As I compress the forks the oil comes squirting out once the rod flys out again.

    I think spesh have a two year warrantee don’t they? Pretty sure mojo repaired my fubared f120s from my old stumpy well after the first year. Give your local dealer a call.

    So is my best bet to ring spesh themselves or fox or the shop I got it from? I’ve moved house since I got it so it’s a long way to get back to the shop I got it from!

    Spez will want a proof of purchase identifying you as original owner. If you can’t get it, you’re out of luck!

    Be warned that their warranty for forks depends on you having them regularly serviced: 12 months or 1500km if memory serves. £90 will get them serviced (as they’re due) and they’ll probably fix the cause of your problem along the way.

    Thanks for all the info people. I have spoken to MOJO this morning and they have confirmed its a warranty issue and to send them off to them and theyll get them sorted. They did say 2-3 week turn around time currently and im meant to be doing Gisburn Dirty Dozen 3 weeks on Saturday! 😕
