[#4557278]

I'm confused.
I've a set of revelations bought off here, and I think they're 2010 models, though googling them brings up lots of different variations.
Essentially, they have:
-air u-turn
-150-120mm travel
-blackbox damping
-motion control
-external compression and rebound
-20mm maxle...

I've serviced them a few times, but am looking to replace the o-rings and oil foam.
Any ideas what kit I should get, and where's best for it?
A chap on eBay sells a 32mm o-ring kit, but not sure if that's what I'm after, given the u-turn and BB damping...

Ta muchly!

Ok - so by rearranging the google search phrase, i get [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/components/forks-suspension/product/review-rockshox-revelation-team-air-u-turn-10-35363 ]RS Rev tear air u-turn 2010 forks....[/url]

The last few questions still stand though!

If they aren't leaking, don't bother buying seals. Fresh oil will see them all lovely again.
I've serviced more RS forks than I can remember and only ever replaced one leaky o ring.

But if you need some odd bits, email me, I've got some stuff lying around in little boxes in the garage. 🙂

I think the oil seals could do with replacing (well, the oil foam ring). Any of those pete??

I've got some used ones hanging around somewhere I think. 🙂
They should be OK. I can look tonight if you like?

The top seal above the foam ring is a special Rockshox part. It's only a dust seal to stop crap getting in. If there's another seal BELOW the foam ring then they are a standard hydraulic ram seal and about £1 or so each. I used to have a link to a place that sold them.... Deleted now I think. The internal O rings are, again, all off the shelf things. I measure them up and just find something similar. They do t even have to be the same size, as long as they're close-ish they'll be fine. But like I said, unless you have a leak (air or oil) there's little point in changing them for the sake of it. I just wait until they go off for a proper bushing service as they do the lot then

Cheers,
I'm happy servicing them, but could do with changing the foam ring TBH, as i haven't done that yet.
Any recommendations for where sells them new?

Loco is the place to go to if you need to buy the foam rings seperately

Yeah, he's the daddy.

Dr P, I've got a couple of used ones. They look OK actually. I'll send you a pic 🙂
