Thanks guys, I'm on the lookout for a new fork now 😂 And I have a SID for sale...

Don't know about welding to be honest. The joint would be in a critical point and I ride in quite hard terrain. Maybe shortening the tube further and weld in a lower point, but still not sure...

Sorry, yes...

You mean something like this?

I have 175mm and I would ideally need 230mm.

I have a Rock Shox SID with a steerer tube too short. If I put it on my bike it would poke out of the head tube by only 15mm. So can't even clamp a readily available steerer extender there. Any fix for this or I need to find another fork?

Sure, please let me know the details (price, postage, etc)

Yes please. Do you need measurements or are they all the same? Do you have a gold one like mine? How much? Thanks

The adjuster is there, inside the damper shaft. It turns with a 2mm allen key and it clicks every half turn. Now I understand why the bolt is hollow. 👍

By the way, forgive the probably useless details, but the original oil seals were single lip, so I went for the same ones, although they sell the double lip as well. My thinking: these oil seals usually work with rotating shafts, so less friction than up/down movements. Double lip might crate...

Update. I measured the old oil seals with a caliper and they are exactly 10x22x7. I bought new ones at £4.20 including postage from Bearing Kings. The seals I received are identical to the original ones, so the guy selling them on Ebay is way too expensive at over £17 for 2. Anyway, I fitted...

As per title. Possibly other models would fit. I update with exact measurements tomorrow. I put a couple of pictures so you know what I'm after. Thanks

Ok, I cleaned all the small bits today and yes, one of the bolts is hollow. So I suppose this goes on the damper side. Would there be any chance of the 5ml of oil in that leg leaking?

Thanks, I would really appreciate it! 👍 Let me know please. I ask on the forum as well.

Yes, yes. I looked inside the bottom legs and in fact there are 2 metal bushing where you said. I'm gonna try source a new stanchion as well, although a first look online doesn't bring up anything.

I opened 2 of them and there were no bushings there. Got to dig out pictures of my Marzocchi bomber where I'm sure there were no bushing either. I might be wrong of course.

Thanks for your input. Bear with me if I'm about to say something stupid, but... Looking at how the fork is constructed, the part of the stanchion that is damaged, does not rub against anything. It is only the top part that slides in the collar in the lower leg. So, I don't think it makes any...

For completion, this is the open cartridge. Would I need to fill it with oil completely? Any tips on how to do it and avoid air getting in?

Ok, I'll source the seals and report here.

So, before compressing the fork and fitting the bottom bolts, you add 5ml of oil in each leg, correct?
