I've generally run Rockshox up until now and I've always found things like a bag of crush washers and foam rings easy to come by. For example:

https://www.bike-discount.de/en/rockshox-crush-washer-8mm-50-pieces
Now I'm running a set of Fox 34 forks and I'm struggling to find anything other than the full seal service kits which seem ridiculously expensive just to do a single lowers service.
Anywhere I can buy a big bag of crush washers and foam rings for Fox forks?
Failing that, anyone know if the Rockshox 35mm foam rings should work on Fox forks? Crush washers I guess I should be able to find somewhere since I think they are 13mm.
Unless they are in warranty a foam ring is a foam ring ... (ID/OD/thickness)
Not sure how a 35 will fit in a 34 but I expect its fine ... In my experience if you try washing and reusing they grow more than that.
From memory my 32's have 2 different sized crush washers...

I would've thought so, a foam ring's a foam ring, isn't it?
When you find a source for crush washers, can you post it here please? Ta.

Set up an account, doesn't have to be trade. I saved a set of fox forks from certain death (rebound knob rounded!) by spending a bit of time looking around here. Good on answering email questions too.

I'm half thinking about just 3d printing them. The dimensions of the 13mm one are 15.7 x 12.9 x 2 mm according to a random forum post I found on the internet. Use ABS and not PLA was the other tip.

According to @sl2000 the 35mm rings don't really work. I shall join him in ranting about the lack of spares.
RWC do seem to sell the foam rings individually so that's an option, I guess.
I'll be sticking to RS from now on, I reckon. Fox don't seem to want you to service your fork.
Fox don’t seem to want you to service your fork.
But they recommend it is serviced every 30 hours...
Tried the bits4bikes seller on ebay? It's where I get my fork service stuff from. Good seller and helpful 🙂
Checked his listing and only has full seal kit - I'd message him and ask if he can supply the bits you need
I get my Fox service stuff from eBay though I'll often reuse a crush washer and it's never done any harm.
I'm going to reuse, and order some crush washers for next time. Cheers. 🤞🏻
TF Tuned able to assist?
They could only sell me full kits including wiper seals etc when I asked last time. It's ridiculous considering Fox say crush washers and foam rings should be renewed at much shorter intervals (even if you reuse foams and washers a few times, a wiper seal will still far outlast them)
i’ve seen foam rings on aliexpress. i’ve not searched for crush washers, but they are probably on there.
