"forked" out for some upgraded seals, from enduroseals last week, after my chav of a housemate dropped a wheelbarrow/fork/spade/chainsaw down the stantions of my 2004z150dropoffs and left a trench deeper than the marianas in the stantions.
emeryed, filled emeryed, filled, smooth as a babys back bottom, but its too late. pissing oil.
So
new seals go in, after a MASSIVE faff trying to get hold of a socket slim enough to get the foot nut off the forks
(big thanks and bigup to Sidwell cycles in exeter for the loan of the tool to some tool they have never met before. i will certainly be going back to actually BUY stuff from there in future)
lower oil seals slot in perfectly, drifted in using the old seals as protection.
new dust seals push in VERY easily, infact, so easily, when inverting the fork to put the legs back in, they fall out under gravity
see where these (blue) ones are flat on the outside edge, the zocchi ones are ribbed and larger and subsequently a tight fit. (the pictured are for 30mm forks, so not quite the same, but you get the idea)
ive already fitted the inner oil/air seals, and have just put the old dust seals back in after much thinking and chatting with sidwell.
i seem to be oil free again.....
but now ive got a pair of dust seals, which i cant use. i cant send them back can i? as ive used the inner seals..
anyone had this problem with enduro seals before?
opinions/thoughts?
i got them from CRC btw, so i think i need to go back to CRC first rather than Enduro.
of course the last place i should ask for advise is here.....
(and to top it off, regular bomber seals are back in stock on crc, at nearly half the price the enduro ones are...)
email Chris from Enduro seals, he knows his onions
