Hi, i have an old set of 2011 fox 32 forks I have put on my second bike; old 26inch hardtail/shit weather kick around bike. I just noticed the stanchions are worn through the coating near the seals. They aren't leaking oil and seem pretty solid apart from the fox crown creak.
I know a new csu is in order but really I don't see the point considering I have another $$$ bike to maintain.
Forks haven't been serviced for a few years.. so what do you guys and girls reckon I can get away with to keep them going on the cheap?
New seals and an oil change? I don't have the lubes and seal kit so it will prob cost me about $90.. Can I just clean up the existing seals and foam, lube up and reassemble? Not sure about the crush washer if I can resuse that also?
As for fork oil, any cheaper options out there?
Thanks a bunch.
