Hi Gents, I had my Epic serviced and was having alot of trouble getting front end traction for some time afterwards. On closer inspection I found the fork pressure was at 150PSI! Recommended for
me (70kgs) is 65PSI. Fox say never have it above 200PSI, but their range for riders is not above 125PSI Since I have found more than the normal amount of oil (or what I was used to) is coming out of the left shock tower.
I have managed to track down the service manual from Fox (great to see fox have this stuff out there) to see what I how to do it myself PROPERLY. Of the more experienced among you, what damage would you think this high fork pressure may have caused to the seals? Could I get away with just 'reseating' the seals or should I be looking to replace them, which may mean I need to pull the darn thing apart.
I have pretty much done all my own wrench work previously, but have never had experience with suspension before. It appears that shops can't be trusted to do this properly so I guess I need to learn how.
