636 safety sleeve (fork) and seal replacement - Page 4 - Stunt Discussion

Stubbz · 05-21-2008, 09:56 PM

i have been riding my bike for a month now after sending the forks to bill at FT for the sleeves, when he first sent them back they had a really heavy oil in um and one of the guys helping him ripped one of the seals so i had to send them back but he put in a factory weight oil in them the second time because i am only 150lbs and dont need um that stiff anyhow, i cant really tell with the weight and sometimes they do feel stiff when coming down from a spreader or suntin but i have rolled a shitload of good stoppies and they feel just fine. and for the trouble of having to send them back the second time, bill paid for the shipping and threw in a hoody for me as well. great customer service.

i dont think its so much as changing the seals, as it is someone having blown seals and running the forks dry.... or overall just beating the hell out of them. I jump curbs, lawns, small children and woodland creatures on a daily basis, and my forks make more noise than that time you hit it with ur best friends little sister. I finally ponied up, and scored a set of 06 forks for 125$ shipped off ebay.... the deals are out there... just gotta be looking for them. These were on ebay for like 16minutes before i hit up the Buy-it-now

Afflicted · 05-23-2008, 01:37 AM

just swap them up for some 05+

plus the silver ones look tight as shit instead of the gold tubing

and itll be the same cost as getting that fork sleeve done
