Just got my Fox's back from LL. Looking mint. Like new. Also have an extra 1cm of travel compared to before I sent them in. Hmmmm now measure about 155mm of stantion showing. Also the "click" of the talas seems to have changed. Far more precice now and defined. They claim to have only changed a seal, but I think not - seems like there was a talas problem in 05 that they have sorted (like you mentioned J).
Anyway chuffed to bits, not only have they cleaned them they have touched up, with Fox Brown paint, the bit of cable rub I had on the legs. Mint. I love Fox again.
No charge and they definately changed the oil so wont need to service for a bit longer at least.
Big :) from big hands.

Forgot to mention, you can check the date your forks were made by looking at the date code behind the arch (in that bit that collects lots of mud, but they even cleaned mine here). Mine are 11 04, which I guess if Nov 04... Mite explain it...
Iv heard that mojo do a good service. mine could do with touching up but am not to bothered. My bike felt pretty good on wednesday. am still messin with the suspension but at least its in the right ball park. just needs tweaking. Cant wait for llandegla tomorrow, should be on for a cracking day
Thats awesome. A service thats actually good! Can't wait to get a ride on next weekend!
Good and FREE!!! Just going to try and set the compression knobs up now. Wish me luck. My thinking is that you set the air to your actually weight (I normally set it higher for a better ride) but then turn up the high compression so that you dont bottom out. It should me (Croxton theory) that you get lots of small bump sensitivity from the low air pressure, but wont blast through travel and bottom out. Interesting.....
That sounds like it will work. With the lower pressure though it can take a bit of tweaking to get the sag right. If you consider the hi comp as a form of bottom out control, then it can affect the sag. This happens with my rear shock. Whilst we are on about set-up, I read the other day that you should set fork sag by standing up on pedals and obviously rear shock by sitting down. The other general rule of thumb is to set shock rebound slower than the forks.
Hmmmm... Interesting. I have been tweaking with my knobs recently (hello there!) and at the moment my r shock seems to have high rebound. I think that I need to take a bit of air out otherwise I have to virtually wind the rebound to the slowest (which is more "+" for some unknown reason) on the lowest setting. However, it isnt helped by the fact that the forks have come back from Mojo super slllooowwwww and I dont know I should set them to really. Havent checked sag yet either, but aparently should be 25-32mm I think?!?! Have never checked it before. Anyhoo, will got for my normal setting which is somewhere between snap and sluggish!
best setting i find is usually one that feels neutral. i.e it just feels right. not to much rebound, not to hard etc.
would say 25-32 as a percentage not mm as your forks are 160mm so 32mm would not b enough. Roughly a third is what you are after, use a zip tie but remove before you ride as you can scratch stanchions with mud etc
