“Fox F800RLs”
I want to see some of those!
“Yep 15 hour service interval .. That’s why sensible people buy Rockshox”
IIRC Rochshox lowers drop/service is only around 25/30hrs?
They also can have stantion wear problems. I think mine was due to a worn (to the metal) bushing on one side rather than more stantion anodising. Either way it leaks a fair bit of oil from just over 2yrs old
“Its no more difficult than cleaning and oiling a chain”
Apart from do it properly you need to take the lowers off the forks (which requires removing the front wheel, realistically the front brake caliper*/hose, then after dropping the lowers, cleaning, oiling, replacing/reseating foam rings/seals, refasten brake hose, *if post mount caliper reposition/reset brake caliper and replace front wheel. And to it properly you’ll want to torque it all, qhich at least with rockshox warrants a long reach 10mm socket/or crows foot, which bot everybody has (yes, I realise the answer is buy one)
