Hi everyone, I'm looking ro identify some PACE forks that are on a bike I've recently bought so I can set them up correctly if any documentation exists. Im aware there's a PACE expert on here and have followed him but can't DM yet as I'm a new member! Hope someone can help. Thanks

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.
 
That's brilliant, thanks so much for the rapid reply. I'll reach out over a service on them soon. They seem to function well but lose air pressure which is common I believe. Really nice fork for the age, I'm really impressed
 
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 often!!) to clean and reset the seal in a cleaned and freshly greased groove.
There are a few safety issues that could do with checking over too: pinned collar on spring rod and stanchions flared into crown being the main ones.
PM sent which you should be able to reply on hopefully
All the best.
👍
