So I have a pair of Recon Golds on my winter hardtail. Nothing fancy, but they worked brilliantly! They were overdue a service so I ordered a seal kit and set about servicing them. Whilst cleaning the air spring assembly i noticed that the piston head was cracked, it looked like it had been for some time. Fitted everything back together but now i have replaced the seals and everything is back as it should be I have a problem...So the fork holds air fine. However when you weight the fork o circulate through its travel you can hear air moving (guessing past the piston head) and the fork stick down and wont return to full travel. I have looked online to try and find somewhere that stocks a replacement, air spring assembly but cant find anywhere. I glued the piston head back together and it worked fine for a week but i now have the problem again. So I am pretty sure its this cracked piston.
Can anyone please direct me to an online UK provider that would carry stock?

Not sure how much the recon changed between years and models but this could do

Well i actually have a set of older 26" Golds my friend gave me to canabalise for parts. I have taken the airshaft out and it should fit but obviously the leg length is different! Balls will give it a go whats the worse that could happen
So I butchered an old set of 26" recon golds my mate gave me. Different airshaft but it fits and seems to be working perfectly!
