Aha, thought I had some somewhere!! Stamping is a date?

Yes, no problem to sort your PC2.

I thank you😉 I have an early set of Renthal bars in silver I think, I will check 👍

Thanks for the above replies both; excellent. 👍 I can remember when using some of the 1998 carbons to build the ‘99 ‘Ltd Edition Pro Class’ that we had to unwrap the individual carbon tubes. They were wrapped in a clear tape (cellophane??) termed a ‘compression tape’ which probably confirms...

Good question: first of all don’t use any of the chemical cleaning fluids (like Muc-Off) on the carbon as it removes the shine and seems to dry it out, if that is possible. Clean with a bit of soap & water, car wash/wax is good. It is possible to restore a bit of colour and lustre to a tired...

And one more

Another 4 done👍

No worries; yes, the Evo2, Evo3, RC37 and RC150 all suffer from air loss if there is dirt in and around the air seal in its groove below the wiper seal in the taller seal housing at the top of the RH carbon leg. It is a matter of removing the carbon slider assembly on occasion(read:quite...

Welcome to RB Your forks are 1999 RC36 Evo2. Combined coil spring and air assisted suspension with oil damper in rh leg and coil spring preload adjust in lh leg under the small black cap.

Hello, yes; still doing services and rebuilds at present 👍

SNAP🤩

Yes, you will need a 1 1/8” crown with a crown race collar or a 1 1/4” crown with a reducer shim seen above. 👍

You could try to get one cut in carbon possibly, but it would need to be 5 or 6mm thick. Obviously the alloy or carbon being flat you do have to watch clearances on the fork. Cheers 👍

No, the Airforce (1) and Evo2/3 mag bridges are identical parts. The RC37 bridge is a stronger alloy machining with a non structural carbon insert, but is of roughly the same profile as the mag bridges. Incidentally, the similar looking silver painted magnesium bridges on the RC36 Pro Class 2...

Ah, late to the party as usual, but I was on holiday!! The original RC38 Airforce fork shares its bridge bolt pattern only with the RC36 Evo2 and also the RC37. No other Pace bridges will fit unfortunately. The magnesium bridges are very fragile around the bolt holes as you may know.
