Just bought them 2nd hand and want to give them a service, pretty sure they are the coil
Spring versions. Can’t find anything on SRAM website atm (seems to be down).

Anyone got a good guide to how to strip and service them?

I think I’m just going to find another set of forks tbh. These Judy have rust on the stantions and I don’t have the time or the kit to service them reqlly

But thanks again for the guide
 
It's fresh in my mind, as I'm in the midst of refurbishing one, myself.
Mine came with a ripped boot (unobtainable part), which I didn't know about, when I bought it.

So, I found this:
https://cycling.endurobearings.com/...products/fk-6613-rock-shox-28mm-fork-seal-kit
This is a super-duper seal set for the shock, that replaces the outer dust seal, and the inner foam oil ring,
supposedly eliminating the need for boots - We shall see.
Thanks for this link backetcase, I'm just about to tear down my Judy's for a colour change as the bright red gloss looks terrible with the satin black paint of the bike.
I don't know if I need the seals or not but given the forks are 25 years old I'm going to replace them anyway.

If you are pulling out you should replace the seals as you'll rip the lip off when you shove it back through (they thin out over time due to wear)

That's what was taught, in practice though, meh.

I also decided to re-paint the (black) lowers on mine, as they were pretty beat up looking, with half the decals gone.
I just used some gloss black epoxy appliance spray paint, which I've used in the past, and has proven to cure pretty hard.
Now, I just need to wait a week or 2 to put them back together :rolleyes:
