Went for a ride yesterday and noticed the forks (Fox TALAS 36's)very stiff and unbouncy - they havent been used for 5 weeks prior. Ive put some oil on the stanchions and they seem to have eased up after a damn fine session of bouncing them up and down, but does this mean its time to send them off to Mojo (only done about 15 rides)?
1 Hour ride x 15 = time to service (officially)
You can do it yourself, taking the lowers off.
Oils and crush washers available from mojo
That said, they shouldn't be stiff after just a few rides
turn your bike upside down few hours prior to riding..the natural oils will lubricate the stanchions..
Possibly the damping oil thickening due to the cold weather?
I have a fox fork. It's always time for a service
Do it yourself. Dead easy and dead cheap. And store your steed upside down.
