All in all dont feel too great,stantions feel stoggy like a stick being pushed in to a pudding.From new felt great 2 years along the line after 3 services by Madison who no longer offer this service just feel drab.Right stantion gets very wet with fluid so i dont feel theyve dryed up,the rebound adjuster at the bottom seems to do nothing.What would you do only done approx 100 mile since last service which was done foc because the previous one was shite.running thes on my Bfe any other fork which you could recommend.

I sent a pair of these to Pace for a service and put a note in with them specifically mentioning the oil leakage/wetting of the R/H stantion & asking for it to be looked at. Got them back with no service report and no indication that anything had been done about it, the problem was still there so I put it down to things wearing & decided that in the future I'll self service.

Pace took over the Madsion service I belive. Dont send them to Pace, their customer service is shockingly bad. Someone recommended this guy "Fork English, guy called Tim Price. Top fella, call him on 01751 476815".

The problem is only Pace can get hold of DT parts/spares in the UK - they won't supply most parts to anyone else. What year XMC is it? If it is pre-2011 then you might have luck with Fork English, as the Launch Control damper will be the pre-DT redesign and is still the same as the final Launch Control damper that Pace sold. Sounds like the bushes may be on their way out, however, I also found that the Launch Control forks are quite sensitive to which oil is used - for best result use Motorex.

However, I think you're going to be stuck with using Pace, if servicing them at home doesn't fix it.
