|   Potential Black Fork Issue | Cnemie
Oct 18, 2002 8:12 PM | | I discovered today that my left fork leg has a grey foam ring sticking half-way out of the rubber boot. Somehow I doubt this is a good thing. What does it mean? Thanks. |

Oct 18, 2002 9:11 PM | | I do not know much about the black but I know my Judy SL has a foam ring under each fork seal. It is supposed to be re lubricated every 25 hours. Sounds like that may be what is sticking up out of your shock. It may have gone dry and stuck to the stanchion. All you may have to do is pull up the seal, lube the ring and put it all back together. |
| Yeah, carefully pry the boot up off the fork lowers, | Tscheezy
Oct 18, 2002 9:30 PM | | squeeze any water out of the foam ring by pressing it with a paper towel against the stantion tube (fork leg), slide it down into the well where the stantion tube inserts into the lowers, lube it well with fork oil or some triflow or something like that, and reinstall the boot. |
| It does <B>not</B> go under the seal. | fonseca
