    Rock Shox seal removal

    I know there's an abundance of people out there with Rock Shox service experience. So here's a simple one for you. Removing the main seals, according to the manual, requires a tool - is this necessary or is there a way to remove them without the tool? Also, which oil do people use when...

    Am I right in thinking there was a brace available that fitted Mag21s that didn't have the canti cable hanger on it, presumably designed for use with Vs or Hydrostops?! Next question is - if there is such a thing - does anyone know where I can get one!?! Cheers Will

    Painting Rock Shox

    Folks - I need some advice! I'm going to get a pair of Mag21 legs painted. Do I need to completely dismantle them to just the Mag bits, or will it be sufficient to remove the crown and let the painter mask the legs? If they need taking apart, can someone direct me to a PDF of the service...

    Rock Shox crowns.

    Question for all the GT Gurus....

    ....the Xizang! In my few months on this forum I've seen examples and chat about RTS, LTS, Zaskars and Avalanches galore, but I've not seen anything about the Xizang. If memory serves it was GT's mid '90s rigid Ti offering, wasn't it?! Were many sold, are many about, are they (stupidly)...
