My shock hasn't been touched for approaching 2 years :oops:other than keeping it externally clean and a squirt of fork juice. It seems to work fine.
However whilst I wait for hope to service and return my knackered brake I'm doing some pre-winter maintenance and have already done the fork seal service.
So will I get away with a home seal service (looks pretty straightforward from what I've seen online or does it have to go back to say Loco to get the more in depth service done e.g. nitrogen re-charge ?
Does the seal kit include the outer rubber seal?
Thanks!
i didnt service mine for a few years, changed all the seals and added some float fluid and its been fine, was like new inside still. the seal kit comes with the sag o ring, an o ring at the top of the threads on the body, a dust boot, 2 main air seals and 4 plastic white shims, i had a large o ring left over what i had no idea were it went
Thanks pondy. Sounds doable but I'm giong to have a crack at it with a mate who's a bit more mechanically talented with me and wants to service his at the same time.
This might be a few weeks away, would you just do the unscrew on the frame and add some float fluid in the mean time as the shock seems very dry...?
there is a very good how to guide on you tube, basically take the shock off the bike, let the air out, unscrew the body and replace all the seals and cover it all in float fluid.
