just serviced my fox 32s, done it before with no probs.
when sliding the lowers back on i have managed to damage BOTH the internal wiper seal springs,,,,,, not the ones you can see on top of the seals when the forks are back together, the ones inside the bottom of the seals.
have removed both damaged springs for fear of them migrating into the fork internals and causing proper damage.
going on a big-un in the lakes at the weekend, its all booked and i dont have time to buy/wait for another set to be delivered, hardtails forks are in for a service at the mo’ as well ,,, sods law innit.
the original seals have been ripped out with pliers and one of the springs was damaged so cant re-use the old ones.
they are obviously their for a reason ,but, fingers crossed i can get away with it,,,,,, are they that important ?,,,, will be changing them as soon as replacments arive but need some reasurance that i am not going to risk life on a decent 😯
need the singletrack massive to put an arm around me and say everythings going to be just fine 😀
