@FluffyChicken - I see the white plate at the bottom of the lowers, but there's no o-ring down there - there was originally a big fat o-ring that was shoved under the plate that the fork seal sits on but the circlip wouldnt engage with it there and I couldnt find any other reference to this in...

Why 100psi? The max pressure I can find for any of the rockshox or FSX/Future shock service manuals is still under 50psi so 100psi would effectively lock the fork out. I blew apart the fork legs again yesterday to see if perhaps I'd missed something and I dont think so - as I was filling the...

35-40psi air pressure, oil level 40mm from the top with the fork legs compressed.

So I've got the fork reassembled and the bike more or less ready to ride - each fork leg seemed to move pretty smoothly independently when cycling the fork legs through their travel to set the oil level but with wheel, fork brace and brakes on, the fork gets stuck down at the bottom of its...

I still need to fill with oil (again) and reassemble with new seals - but removing the fat o-ring resolved the problem of the snap ring popping out when aired up. Looking at a bunch of youtube videos, it seems there's 3 or 4 different o-ring/washer/bushing/seal arrangements depending on the...

yes, held air fine even with the old seals, didnt try with fluid.

What's the correct arrangement here? It did see one video of an alloy lower "future shock" forks and had a different arrangement, with no small o-ring on top of the upper bushing, but instead a thick o-ring and the flat washer on top of the seal not below. Waiting for new seals so hoping to...

Weird, I cant edit... continuing on The fork had a pair of bushings, spacer, o-rings on each end plus an additional thick o-ring between the bushing stack and the flat washer under the seal I realized that wasnt working on reassembly as I couldnt get the snap ring fully back in its groove...

Hi, New here, was looking for some guidance on a fork that I'm diving into. I picked up a 90's S-works hardtail in pretty good shape, but the fork wasnt returning up at all and the seller didnt know anything about it. So, time to dive in and service it... I'm confused a bit on the o-rings...
