Photoshoot = Blown fork seal.

Today I blew my fork Motha Huckin.
Fox 40RC2 It's time for me to rebuild them.

Maybe I am just too Fat.

Not too difficult to do yourself as long as you have the tool to pull the seals. I rode my last trip at Mammoth with oil squirting everywhere

The selective color on that does a great job of drawing your atention to the bike

Sometime if you get a feeler gauge you can scoop the junk out of your seal.
You have to catch it when it first happens though.
I have had to do it many time with motorcycles. It's is harder to do with bike forks.

What Bike ?

Pretty common to blow seals on a 40, or fix the problem and buy an 888

Yeah, I've used business cards when my seals starting seeping on the mx and been lucky a few times. I saw this on fox's service site and thought it was a great idea for cleaning the seals...

...and you don't run the risk of damaging your seal or stanchions like you can with other methods.
