    Hi, guys, as the title suggests – anyone ever made or have any ideas of how to fashion your very own foam wiper for some ancient Psylo’s (c.2001)?

    Type of foam and a method of cutting to shape is what I’m after here. I know there are a few bright sparks around these parts so let’s hear your suggestions, if you please…

    Aren’t Psylo’s 30mm Stantions? Same as Reba/Tora etc?
    If so, a dust seal kit is about £16 & if they’re that age, possibly due a service.
    Or a bag of 20 foam wiper rings can be bought from Fishers by your LBS for not a lot, so should be available for about £1 each.

    I had the foresight to grab a couple of Revive Kits when I first purchased the forks so they’ve been regularly serviced since then. It’s just that I’m down to my last kit so was looking at alternatives. I thought the other forks had gone up to 32mm but I’ll go have a quick Google…

    You’re correct – Dukes are 30mm.

    Sorry, my mistake – you didn’t mention Dukes.

    Got a link to the Fishers pack of wipers or are you suggesting they’re only available through my LBS…?

    I had a look on thier B2B site & they’re listed as in stock & available in packs of 20 for 30mm stantions. (Really should know newer ones are 32mm, I only serviced three pairs last week 🙄 )
    So any LBS should be able to get them, if you can’t find them online somewhere-I haven’t looked, but CRC/Merlin et al. might have them.
