what is the service interval on newer fox forks
A quick look at the fox manuals online… If Kryton’s 34’s are 2014 ones then it’s recommended that you chain the oil in the lowers every 30hours of riding and a full service every 100hours.
I’m sure this is just what fox recommend to cover their backs and ensure the fork performs at it’s absolute best all the time. They need to be taken with a pinch of salt.
After 30hours of Alpine descending, which you’d probably do on a 1 week Alps holiday, then yes I would be looking to change the oil in the lowers and probably fit some fresh seals. But 30hours of British woodland singletrack, no.
You’ve left it 6 months and you’re now seeing the signs that your fork needs some TLC. It’s one of those things which is worth doing regularly before you see signs it needs doing, otherwise that’s usually when the damage is being done.
The latest 34s and 36s which I’ve just looked at the manual for have a service interval of every 125hours which is good to see.
