Sent some fox 36 .talas off to tf tuned came back with the report
New seals etc etc,very professional
Then there was a paragraph that surprised and disappointed me
We have noticed a scratch on the upper left stanchion,these scratches gather dirt and can cause oil leaks,the only way to remedy this ist to have the full assembly replaced.I suggest this may be necessary on your next service
Panic set in and I inspected the forks as they are only 6 months old
I saw a tiny tiny scratch barely visible about 10 mm long right at the top of the stanchion about 5 mm from the crown
Now there is no way that I am. a, going to use that partof the fork, only in extreme circumstances and b,if I did I seriously doubt it would leak oil or harbour dirt.
Do you think TF are being fair scaremongering customers
It is fair to point the scratch out,but seriously would not warrant a replacement
