What size socket to service my Fox 36 forks?

Ideally, you'll need a 6 sided 32mm that's been machined back so it doesn't damage the shallow/thin-walled nut. Fortunately, Simon at Locotuning has the very thing for £7.99. You can use an ordinary one, but for the cost of replacing a damaged top cap if it slips or distorts it, it's probably worth paying the extra.

26mm IIRC
not really a standard size in metric, may be something in AF
I use a box spanner as it's not got a machined shoulder

32 sounds right.
Just tried a ground down 26mm and it's nowhere near!
Socket shop it is!

as coatesy says the trick to not screwing up the top cap is a six sided socket.

Get a 32mm box spanner, couple of pounds off eBay.

Got 3 sockets from the local socket shop to cover 32's, 36,s and my Pikes. All six sided and my mate is going to grind them down for me

Get him to do a deep 10 and machine the outside down a bit too for the lower nuts on the fox forks

Got a nice little Halfrauds socket set that has that covered
