Default Let's Talk about my leaking REBA Fork :(

took this sucker out for the second ride and noticed some oil down on the right leg where you adjust the compression. This is the first time I've had this problem with a Rock Shox and it's frankly pissing me off. So do i have them warranty it with a new seal kit?

Yas! Warranty that sucker!

I rode my Reba (somehow that sounds dirty) 2-4x per week for a year with no problems, and at 200lbs, I'm not a flyweight. Get it fixed/replaced.

I assume you meant by the red rebound knob. My Reba did the same thing for a couple rides, but then it stopped. I'm assuming it didn't run out of oil, because a year and a half later, it's still working great.

Even still, take it back to the shop and see what they have to say. It really may be ok, but at least bring it to their attention in case things go bad later.

Oh...that's a bit more than mine. I only had a couple drops on the floor afterward - that was it. I agree with the others, take it in.
