Great, now I don't like my new forks - Pyga Hyrax build thread

That was really helpful, thank you!
I can manage that.
Might get another Lyrik and treat this one a bit better.
Still shocked at how easily this one became unserviceable though.

Same happened my boys Pike and Lyrik a few years back, I thought I was keeping up on servicing but it seems they needed to keep up with the cleaning as well, which didnt happen. Nothings changed BTW and they'll be 19 & 20 in a couple of months
Dirt in the seals, circa 2020 forks, scrubbed the surface off them.

Snatch any wind assisted kom's? Riders with only one ball will never get enough wind assistance …………right Lance?

Yes, if it's one thing that bike (except for drive train) hasn't had, it's a clean.Same happened my boys Pike and Lyrik a few years back, I thought I was keeping up on servicing but it seems they needed to keep up with the cleaning as well, which didnt happen.

I'm not really a bike cleaner myself but the dust gets sprayed off it after every ride, concentrating on drivetrain and fork seals. Just a gentle mist is all it needs.

Some forks come under lubricated from new. I will always drop the lowers before installing a new form and make sure everything is ok. On most forks it's a 10 minute job.
I've got a spare set in the shed if you are keen. Only done a few hundred km when they were replaced by Mezzers.Anyone running Ohlins RXF 36 Air?

Same here, I don't wash the bikes that much either.
I use old pantyhose or a silk rag to get the fine dust off the stanchions and rear shock body. A paint brush to dust off the pivots or any other rotating bits. Takes all of a minute and it seems to help a lot. Post ride stanchion dust offs are also stated in the fork manufacturers manuals if you need to get picky.
I've had some really poorly sealed forks BITD so these post ride routines are second nature to me now
Just have to do it or would be changing fork oil as frequent as changing underwear.Not having a bike with a rear shock in a dirt catching location helps.
Pulled the trigger on a new set of 2025 Lyrik Ultimates - the wizzbang ones with new damping system.
It was either them or the Ohlins. The Ohlins looked a little simpler to service but they are 100gm+ heavier and $200 more than the Lyrics, which I got a bit of a discount on from Cyclinic.
Now going to check my rear Ohlins shock for wear! Probably better get that serviced soon!

Thanks for the offer, may have considered them if I hadn’t already bought the Lyrik!
Where’s the photos? Does it go boing?
These are the 2025 super duper version, they go boiyoiyoing.
