If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Time to order parts for a fork work over, plan is straight rate springs (Sonic) and cartridge emulators (MikeXS).

I haven?t done forks before, so I?m not exactly sure what seal parts to order. I don?t have the forks apart yet.

Do I need to order anything other than #8-1 and #11?

Are parts #6, #9, #13, #15 likely to be damaged, worn-out, or easy to damage taking apart? Any others?

Your input is appreciated, thanks.
 
Just did mine... 10k miles never cracked open before. No play or bushing wear. Did #8, #12, and #17 sonic springs and racetech cartridge emulators and 15 wt maxima fork oil are going to be dropped in
 
You really should thoroughly disassemble and inspect the forks before proceeding any further.

Generally, part nos. 6, 9 and 15 survive quite well and shouldn't need replacement. I usually replace part no. 13 when rebuilding, simply because it's subjected to sliding motion in normal operation so it will at some point need replacement. Check part nos. 15 & 16 - in many cases they have been butchered or damaged at some point. I've even seen cases where imperial thread bolts have been forced into use (!).
