    Per user.tninet.seEnglish.html

    Actually it probably needed to be serviced and now it needs to be repaired. You should take it
    apart at least once a season to clean and lube the large o-ring on the cylinder. Now that o-ring
    probably needs to be replaed, if so it's a 10 minute job.

    Or not. I have been running a Fox Float R since 1999 without opening it. I only wipe it clean after
    every ride. I do not use a shock boot either. Leaks nothings, I only check the pressure once a
    month. Maybe I'm just lucky, but this shock has worked like a dream all years. Knock on wood...

    Those shock boots do little more than hold the dirt in and rub the coating off anyway. You are
    lucky, lucky you are 150lbs. :-)

    "ah", said the blind man, "now I see".

    Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
    should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.
