or just buy bog standard seals.
need 2 prs for lyrik lower service, could get spendy
Buy bog standard ones, but keep your forks clean and spray them post cleaning with some silicone lube.
Go in to your local bearing supplier & their standard ones are probably made by SKF anyway.
Dust is the real problem for forks, its small and if it gets past the seals it will soon end up as grinding paste. Wet mud doesn't get past as easily. I think the surface tension of the water helps. On my Fox forks I do a lower service every few months. I don't find the seals need replacing, only the foam rings and a top up of oil. That's all I've done for years and my stantions are fine.

Stop trying to make me feel better about this winter. It won't work!
Trimix - where do you get your fox foam rings from ?, not found anywhere that sells apart from with the seals as well
Sadly I have to buy a kit from TF that comes with seals as well. I did have loads of new seals but binned them recently. They never seem to wear out.
I tried to just clean the foam rings once, more hassle than its worth.
I got Racing Bros ones for my old Revs, they did make a bit of a difference but then I'd basically fettled them to perfection and serviced them pretty often. Never bothered with anything else
I’ve just bought some tftuned. Presumably their own branded skf seals.
