[Closed] Talas 36's. Any Float fluid required inside the air spring ?

I've been servicing the lowers on my Fox forks at the recommended intervals. It occurred to me that I've never put any lube inside to lube the air chamber & its piston.

Is this something I should be doing ?

TIA, Dave.

If you're stripping, replacing seals in side the Talas system then yes, but generally unless you're doing a full service and iT's working ok I'd leave it alone as stripping it without replaceing seals can cause issues.
They're alos pretty sensitive to the amount of fluid inside them too.

^ These guys know what they're talking about, however I think the OP was asking about in the air spring rather than the talas cartridge.
There is float fluid in there, I think 5ml. It tells you on the fox oil volumes page.

The talas system is the air spring though.

I guess I always like to replace the float fluid after my previous experiences with fluid migration into the air chamber on the Fox32.

I know if I empty it out and replace its 100% got the correct amount of fluid.
