Just stripped and serviced (when I say service I mean I just cleaned it and replaced the oil) on
my 2001 Judy XC. I also decided to switch the travel settings to 100 mm, just to see what it was
like (incidentally it wasn't bad, handled the rough stuff better, but steering is not quite as
sharp as before).
Just one thing, when the fork compresses a lot, ie when I hit a big bump, I hear a springing noise
from the left leg I think. I am assuming the left because it has a lot less oil sloshing around.
When I bought this fork new, it did the same thing, and the bloke I bought it from fixed it. He said
he coated the spring in grease. I noticed this when I was cleaning it. All the left internals had a
lot of grease everywhere.....
The noise doesn't bother me that much, however what do you think of covering the spring in grease?
It is definitely not in the manfucturers service guide.
I am concerned about the grease mixing with the oil. However, the fork has been like this for the
last 2 and a half years, and I have ridden on it a lot.....
Grateful for any advice...... Also has anyone tried the Englund Air Cartridges in Judys?
