"scratch on upper stanchion tube"
I just bought a brand new fox float fork. It is the smoothest, best damped suspension fork spring, or air I have ever tried. I was riding it (for only the third time) and I crashed. Not only did I tear up the sticker, and scratch the awesome matte grey finish, but I put a little scratch on the upper stanchions. The scratch is a little less than a centimeter long, and pretty shallow. I am wondering if the scratch will effect performace by tearing up the seals and/or bushing, or allowing dirt to pass through the seals and into the fork. Does anybody know how this will effect my fork, or how to remedy the problem?
