Competitive Cyclist shows you how to overhaul your Fox forks and shocks

Forks and rear shocks can be intimidating. Many folks are just too hesitant to take on any work themselves and then the parts go too long without proper service. Go ahead and give it a shot. You might be shocked to see how easy it really is.

Can you do a vid on how to install a new fork

[ben150785]

I have to change my CSU on my fork as they have stone chips on the stanchions and are leaking oil. Bearing in mind ive only had them a year its rather annoying (I bought them off fleabay)

Has anyone got any advice on protecting the stancions from stone chips?

I am glad to know a little oil weeping out of the fork seals is pretty normal

@teuntjeremi assuming the fork was already on the bike with the lower race installed you just undo the stem clamp bolts and the bolt on top of the steerer and slide the fork out with the lower bearings coming with the fork, dw youll be fine its easier than it sounds

@airoscar A little oil weeping out of the fork seals is pretty normal. To preserve the performance, you'll occasionally want to pry them up and make sure that the foam rings are saturated with oil. Use Fox Float fluid for this. You'll also want to wipe the upper tubes clean after you ride, as the oil can attract dirt and grit that can accelerate the wear on the stanchion coating.
