    Excellent systematic approach gives the confidence to have a go at any fork. Might struggle to get o rings for old forks though may have to resort to measuring each one. Great video - good job it wasn't wife's tee shirt.

      @@justahasbeen , wasn't bad at all. First time took longer, as expected, but this video covers it all. Just take your time, and keep track of the steps and parts, so you can do it in reverse to put it back together.
      Easy way to save $100+ letting the bike shop do it, and the oil and seals probably cost $50, and you'll have enough oil to do this at least 5x or more, especially if only doing the lower service.

    Hey, amazing video. Exactly what I needed. Especially for the Dual Air Reba A1. Two Questions: where did you get the service kit from and I have heard that you can put some oil ~5ml on top of the piston into the positive air chamber. This should help to stay air tight and resoke the soft pads unter the dust lips - is that correct?? Greetings !

    I am about to service my rockshox model RL/29" . Is it important to remove the fork from the frame of MTB or can this servicing be done without dismounting the fork from the frame, thus with less effort altogether?

    • @bernalh_
      @bernalh_ 3 месяца назад

      He use 0w on the lower legs. Rockshox recommend 15w (no 0w, no 10w). 10w is closer than 0w to 15w. You are better than this channel. 😂

      The serial number is on the back of the crown. On the backside of the fork near the top.

    Herb please tell me you didn't forget to shave 10k off the remelhoffer shim gaskets before you miked out the flugeldozzen ambient operating temperature check valve catawompus sensor. Just saying.

    • @HerbOMatic
      @HerbOMatic  2 года назад +1

      Remelhoffer shims are in the Mark 2 this one relies on differential girdle springs. The 123ml of flugeldozzen was added to dampen the lunar side shaft.

    Can i use maxima plush 10wt for rockshox lower leg ?

    • @HerbOMatic
      @HerbOMatic  2 года назад +1

      I think it would probably be fine, but plush is designed as a damper fluid more than anti-wear. They lower leg oil preserves the bushings and prevents alot of metal to metal contact. I would use the correct oil if my forks were worth alot of money.

    It looks like you have the 2012 A1 Reba, so consider upgrading to the RCT3 damper and newer rebound.
