Help with this Rock Shox please

[ishaw]

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.

Glad you found it. If you want an adjuster dial I stead of having to push an Allen key up there each time let me know as I'm sure I have one. It fits over the hollow bolt and has the Allen shaft as part of it so you can adjust to your hearts content on the trails without reporting to breaking your tools out.

I have various judy stantions if you are still looking?

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

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

I will take a couple of pictures and drop you a message in a bit.

All Judy's of this era shared the same stantions so interchangeable.

Just to update.
I sourced a replacement stanchion from my very local cycle shop/mechanic.
All greased, oiled and fitted together.
You can see the finished product on the build thread here:

Thread 'New build: Scapin TR-X 1997'

Hi everyone,
I started a new project which of course goes as slow as it has to because I rarely have more than an hour to dedicate on this.
Anyhow, I started with a good clean of the frame which was in better conditions than it looked when dirty.


I touched up those scratches near the bottom bracket but I forgot to take a picture.
I then attacked the forks Rock shox judy 1997 Scapin custom)
There's a separate thread about the fork refurbishment here:

Hi everyone, small glitch with this fork: one of the top caps has popped off and when I went to reposition it, the hexagonal pin that hols it pushes down.
Is there a trick to fit this cap without removing anything from the fork?
Thanks

 

[digobike]

You should compress the fork, this will push the hexagonal pin out and then you can put the dial back.

 

[Jimmy2021]

Ah, ok.
If I bounce it it comes out, but when I try to put that dial back it goes back in.
Can I use clamps to keep the fork compressed?
Initially I fitted both dials before closing the top cap because it's very tight.

 

[digobike]

Put the fork on the ground and push it down. Keep it compressed when you are putting back the dial.

I tried, the bloody thing still goes down
