Hello,

Just trying to get my head around something, If a fork is not bath oil type but say sealed damping unit in one leg and springs . I know its not ideal but if the sliders are marked (not anything really deep etc) is it going to really effect the performance of the shock?

Just seems a shame to junk crown and sliders when there doesnt have to be a 100% seal to keep oil in? :?

Again still learning .... So if its a duuurrrr answer go easy!! :LOL: :LOL:

Cheers
 
play will develop between the stantion & bush. it'll wear fairly rapidly if its an alu stantion & will feel a lot like a loose headset. kinda disconcerting at speed & under heavy braking.
 
The fox floats on my KHS have some nasty looking wear on one of the stanchions but I refuse to throw them out as they still seem to function to an acceptable level, and dont feel to have too much play in them...yet...
