I've just bought a 2013 Lapierre Zesty for my wife and I'm trying to service the suspension. Not familiar with the forks as I've avoided Fox since about that era. I thought these were the open bath forks which everyone complains about but now I'm not sure?
The ID is CBGD:
2013 Evolution Series 32 FLOAT 26 150
Part number: 910-05-409
Short ID: CBGD
Description: 2013, 32-A, FLOAT 26in E-S, 150, CTD, O/C, Wht, B/W Logo, 15QR, 1.5 T, Disc, 39mm, OE
So on this table https://www.ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bike&id=530 it's item 53?
What does O/C refer to?
Will I be ok using Fox 20wt gold to do a lower leg service?
Can't answer your question however if you ping Grant at South Coast Suspension he's always been very helpful and informative 🙂
I think 'O/C' stands for 'Open Cartridge' and refers to the type of damper. Rather than the FIT damper which is the rubber bladder type.
Fox recommend using the newer style flangeless seals on the fork lowers if you're using the 20wt Gold oil.
I'm no suspension expert, though. I do service my own suspension, including a full strip down and rebuild of the FIT damper.
A service centre such the one recommended would be a good shout.
Thanks, I'll give them a call. Was hoping to just change the oil and foam rings, despite the bike's age it's had very little use. Maybe I'll just use some synthetic 5w30...
53
2013 32 Float 26" 140-150 (FIT and O/C CTD damper)
10wt. Red
Damper
20wt. Gold
Damper-side oil bath 30
Spring-side oil bath 30
Float Fluid Air Chamber 5
The above is if you are using the current seals, if you find an old oil volume chart it will probably spec Fox 10wt green or red for the older seals.
O/B is open bath, older dampers that directly use the lower bath oil
O/C is open cartridge, EVO dampers, that dont share the lower oil, but are not bladder dampers like FIT
Great info, thanks.
