[Closed] Servicing Maverick DUC32

I'm thinking about having a go at servicing my Maverick DUC 32 forks. The climbing mode now does nothing and they're diving like crazy and bottoming out. They were serviced a couple of years ago at a cost of £99, but they're now asking £150. Hence wanting to try it myself.

The documentation talks about 5wt oil, but also lubricating oil? Are they actually different things, or can I just use the 5wt shock oil I've ordered whenever it mentions 'oil'?

While I'm here - anyone got any hints, tips, warnings? 🙂

You'll need a 24mm spanner iirc

It's been a while since I touched a DUC32, but from memory, you need to be super careful with the small fasteners at the top of the fork - the air valve one and the damping adjuster bits. It's very easy to break them if you over tighten and I suspect getting replacement parts these days could be problematic. But mostly it's pretty straightforward as long as you're methodical and follow the service instructions carefully.

Sorry for hijack but While the maverick users and experts are here.....

Does anyone have a spare bolt that goes on quick release clamp from at the wheel end and locates into the fixed side of the clamp- with like the half moon ball on it.

Mines split in half in February 🙂
