[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/rock-shox-revive-kit-reba-pike-boxxer/rp-prod11956 ]This revive kit[/url] states only up to 2008, why?

Are later model forks lacking the oil seal but with a thicker dust seal?

At a guess, Boxxer Stanchion size changed at some point, was it 2009?

Ah that sounds sensible, as far as I am aware rockshox seals haven't really changed at all?

Try Loco tuning if you want seals though. He's a forum member and I think last time I bought some off him they were cheaper than elsewhere. Plus, you'll definitely get the ghit ones

The 35mm stanchions were called 2010, but were available to buy in 2009.
