As you are all probably aware of, I'm doing the seven Staines this week up in Scotland. All is well at this present time, however, I've just realised that my fox forks need servicing within the next hour of my riding time. It clearly states I must check fluid levels and so on, every 15 hours of my riding time. I'm pretty sure I've done 15hours riding since I last had my lbs service them on Saturday ready for my seven Staines challenge. I have another challenging ride around glentress tomorrow, should I take them to the lbs and have another service or risk it for another two days in which case the warranty would then be void? Needless to say I'm a very worried individual about it and in need of some good advise! If not just to calm my nerves! 😆 only genuine replies please!
Troll?
Is this a wind up
Wheelie.
Only unlock them for the downy bits..
I am unsure weather Rupert is or not?
as some of his posts in the past have seemed quite genuine.
I have another challenging ride around glentress tomorrow
Definitely a wind-up.
If you don't service them they will explode!! The top caps and adjusters will shoot out of the top and hit you in the face! and you'll need reconstructive surgery, after which you'll have a minimum of two years off work...and probably lose your job anyway...
After surgery you'll be so disfigured that your wife will leave you and take the kids as well...who'll be so frightened of your disfigurement that they'll be too scared to meet you ever again..... 😥
Service your forks.....
I feel as though I should be claiming £5 for something...
give Mojo a call and ask them for advice
I wondered in the past but now I'm sure
I feel quite disappointed at the reaction I'm getting! One is in a dilemma and seeking advise and all I get is abuse! Well I shall seek it elsewhere from now on, unless anybody has some reasonable input for me? Who is this mojo character richc? Will he do call outs?
I've once rode a set of my fox forks for 15hrs and 1 minute without a service and they went into 'Limp mode' resulting in minimum functionality and an abrupt end to my ride. Luckily i have the Mojo recovery service so they sent a bloke to tow me to the nearest bike shop. Not a matter to be joked about in short
Khani, you may joke about the top caps shooting out and hitting you in the face but exactly that happened to me whilst leading the Whinlatter Duathlon at the end of last year. The rebound adjuster and shaft flew out of the top of my Floats, hit me in the face followed by a stream of damping oil and the forks then locked solid, I stopped and picked it up then pushed it back in securing it with a bit of velcro strap from my multi tool. I'd like to say I then staged a heroic recovery to win but mid field medeocrity was my result.
