I have a set of well used Fox talas r forks, the old 130 travel version.
The stanchions have a few scratches on them nothing deep but through the coating.
I have tried to revive them by servicing them myself, but now I have oil leaking out of the rebound side and I'm about 20mm short on travel. The rebound side stanchion is in good condition. Do you think I have over filled the rebound side with oil?

Is that a trick question? Did you put too much oil in?

Did you crush the foam seal when putting it all back together?

How much oil is leaking out? Is it a light greasing on the legs or a lot?

I put what I thought is the correct amount in ( I think it was 160ml), but I have been know to be wrong.
I thought about sending them off but last time they were serviced, a couple of years ago tf said it wouldn't be worth doing again. But when inspecting the stanchions they look in good condition.
