evening all
i have had a Tf service kit delivered by TF for my pikes.
I have stripped the fork no worries it had no oil in the lower legs at all so think it was well over due.
Know i am coming to re fit i am stuck. In the fork there was one wiper and a foam ring. Tf have supplied a wiper and a oil seal and a foam ring thinner than the original.
Do i put the foam ring in then the oil seal then the wiper?
Also is 16CC right for a solo air pike?

wiper, foam, oil seal

it's a much better seal than the wiper/thick foam one that some have. Personally I don't bother with the foam ring on these though. Just grease on the seals, and oil in the lowers.

i use a hairdryer to heat 'em up, then use a thick screwdriver wrapped in black electrical tape
