Where did you get the tubing etc dean?

Thats a relief! no spare parts now have we? :wink:

Yeah it really is that easy. are you able to get the seal in but its not sitting flat?

The seal does actually just go in easy if the gland is straight.
You do have the plastic bits in behind the gland?

As per picture 21 in this pdf

Look into aircan, there is i small metal ridge runs all the way around the neck, is it flat or is there a slight bend in it?
Exactly the same story as mine btw

Same happened to mine, the gland the seal sits on had deformed, probably due to neg pressure in past. needed new aircan to repair it so bought coil instead.
Think its a warrenty repair though if still within warranty.
To check have a look in aircan at metal ring-gland that seal sits on, is it distorted?

Put your seals in the freezer before installing them, makes life loads easier.
This normally applies to the oil seal as its quite tight to install, the wipers should be easy enough.

As per what stumpy says, however what he didnt mention is the oil that has leaked will now prevent your fork from getting full travel, leaving them pretty useless.
They need repaired really!

Im after tools to remove bearings on my pitch, price war maybe? :lol:

is tj’s thread invisible or something? :wink:

skullies gully, its really bad however thats ruined now too.

+1 rubbish, its ruined :wink:

Dean have a look at this thread, about halfway down there is a vid on how to make a split collette to remove them.

Try tightening the valve core, could be loose.
Or for what they cost put a new one in.

Mine did from merlin!

I bought some 2009 55 rc3, they failed and i now have some 55 rc3 ti’s because of it.
BUT it took ages to sort out, luckily i had a spare fork.

No idea about fork in question but my guess is it will fail.

Aye shite! cant believe he’s still in buisness to be honest

Try these gave a good price when i rang up. Behind ford garage in shiremoor.

Use this stuff and apply it the way he shows you in the video.

These are really good, they just sit over the top of your glove.
Seem well made too.

+1 what threefish has said, i’ve seen his and it looks great raw

Normally triple requires long cage, double medium.

edit: long is usually cheaper

Not sure about cheapest, but biketarts stuff is good value for money.

I have 55’s and get nowhere near full travel just wailing on them, however i do on decent sized drops etc.

What pressure are you using in the cart?

Windwave told me my forks were fixed and not leaking any oil twice, until i returned them with photos of them pissing oil out the lowers.
(they were 09 model)

double post :oops:

Thanks kael! extremely helpfull :D

@ kael, whats best way to remove dropout bearing? may come in usefull for the future when mine neds done :wink:

edit: without bearing pullers etc

I picked some up in ebc before, which is my local spesh dealer.
Your lbs cant be r’sd by looks of it

little more tyre pressure maybe?

Selling for a freind who has no ebay record-feedback. ohh hang on!
:lol:

Surely that shock is going to get trashed by your gritty shorts 8O

I normally use deore rings as they last longer, here you go.

Out of curiosity how you broke your rp2?

Simon @ locotuning may be able to help.

Would think the more towards hard you set it the firmer the fork is gonna feel on slow hits, which is why mine has hardly any.
Felt like i was hardly moving the fork when i increased mine

@ geda, try backing off everything, preload, air, maybe 1 or 2 clicks compression. play with rebound till that feels right then see how they go from there.
Mine are about 6 month old now and im guessing took about 4 of them to bed in.

Stu the spring will be fine for you, think you would be able to use them from the box without any preload or air, should be just right.
Dont try softening them up for a good while, as said earlier they take ages to bed in and just get better and better over time

That site ^^^^^ reckons 20mm by 15mm sized eggs, was about right ?

Thanks finkill might try that, however i quite like them a bit firm and i do get full travel on occasion especially when it goes a bit wrong :wink:
They have become loads more supple with use but took a while.
I love mine especially not having to worry about them for 3 year
