Looking to replace my 05 Talas forks that have bad stantion wear – are the 09/10 Fox forks better or do they still wear the anodizing off? Is it all down to the regular servicing requirement?

Failing that are Rockshox Revelations more hard wearing?

Oh no here we go – seat drawn up and tea brewing [sitting back].

My five pence – 04, 07 and 09 Fox Forks. All with perfect uppers at level of seals. 04, worn bushings and lower uppers d.t. age and use but functioning well still on my wifes bike. I do a seal clean every 4-5 dirty rides and do not use jet washers. Also put a little sus oil on the seals after a ride/clean bike. My mates 08' Talas he sold were scored d.t mud in seals and he never serviced them in the 2 years he had them , also anodising worn – he only ever washed them off so thats my five pence worth!

Did you know that typing "d.t" instead of "due to" saves three WHOLE characters which is a 50% saving of Indonesian orangutans.

Not a lot of people know that.

Foxy®ider – the saying is "my 2 penneth"

Rob – Foxy is factoring in the return to a 17.5% VAT rate + the stealth price increases that will go along with it.

Rob – its my decimal equivalent 😉

Banana – I admit I got my Talas' in Jan when the price was a tad better – I agree they are uber expensive now 🙂 Not sure I would have the money to buy them at todays prices!

(Um, I was addressing Rob, in defence of you 😉 )

What about the new Marzocchi's?

3 year warranty with no service stipulations…..

2011 will be Marzocchi's year!!! and so will purple

🙂

I had an on pair of bomber Z3 and they lasted for years – If I could not afford fox's I would prob get some marzochhi's TBH 🙂

Thanks for all the helpful advice guys! Guess I asked for it really 🙂

(EDIT: Je suis trop confused)

Oh yes, and +1 for Marzocchi – you simply can't go wrong.

Yeh Bullet – now see what you've done 😉

have run fox f90s that came with my 07 stumpy for 3 years,no service,no problems,also have set of 05 terralogics still going strong with no problems,mate had 08 f series and stanchions wore quite quickly

got an 07 stumpy with float rl's and the stanchions are badly worn but i just change the oil and the seals when they start to leak and they last for about 5 months and it works out at about £20 a time, they still work well

07 floats on a stmpy fsr .. still buttery smooth

considering getting bolt thro upgrade at service time too !!

just dont talk about the wheels …bloody alloy nipples
xmas re build done to nice db stainless on brass nipple

I wonder…..do Fox have the same service stipulations in the US or just here? Is it Importer-driven or from Fox themselves due to a high-level of warranty claims?
