Yes. I've run their seals on a Fox Vanilla. Once the seals go on my new fork I'll get a set for it too. The Enduro seals are awesome.

I've run there seals on my fork. work great

i have a set on my boxxer, but decided that the monster T is more fun and better performing as a fork, so my boxxer's not getting much use. can't really say how they perform.

I dont really care about the fork seals, thats just the name of the website, I mean Bearings and stuff....

I just wanted to know if theyre a good company to work with. Sounds like it.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I just had my Psylo's seals replaced with Enduro's seals. The whole fork feels tighter. I'll let you know how things go in the longer term...........

Oooh - I notice they have rear bearing kits for an NRS. For $50 I'm not sure I could go wrong.

well the 1st set of seals last year didn't last all that long in my fork, so i emailed the guy and he said they'd changed the inner seal design, sent me a new inner seal set for the ones i'd not used yet and a replacement set for the ones which died quickly.

so yeah, i'd say good customer service.

I thought you had a really good local bike shop.

Are the seals giving you grief on the Z150??? They can't have more than 150 - 200 miles on them by now. I didn't put more than 40 or 50 on them.

Crap - I am sure you edited that.

I don't think you can go wrong, but you can also not go wrong by going to the bearing shop. Make sure you have good presses and pullers before you start.

I don't know about bearings and whatnot but their seals are good. Plus their website has step by step pictorial instructions for how to take apart forks and replace seals. Some of their instruction sets are better than the manufacturers service guides. Definitely thumbs up.

I'd imagine they are some pretty knowledgeable folks and could help you out if you get in a bind.

Use sockets and a c clamp if you can to press bearings in. Make sure things are well braced as you pound the old ones out. Santa Cruz have a tendency to break, you know?

The bullits bearings are held in place by pinch bolts...it shouldntbe that much of an issue. I planned on using the C clamp and sockets to get them in there. Shouldnt be too hard.

Nope - it won't be hard at all. Just mentioning caution. It would suck to trash the frame.

Enduro makes the best products on the market! The ceramic bearings are so smoooooooooooth it's silly.

Their prices on bearings (blur at least) are cheaper than what SC wants for them. And their seals are nice. Just make shock bushings and its one stop rebuild shopping.

I do know w/ the vpp bikes you kind of needed the special press to get them in there properly and a bit of loctite around the outside of the bearing to keep it in there. It sounded strange, but we had a customer come back after 1 ride w/a shadetree install as they worked loose.

Cool. I wonder if I could just get a 'subscription' to a set of Blur bearings, where they just send me a new set every month.

Narlus are you running a monster? I used to have an 01' and it was my favorite fork out there...Just bought a used one for $150! Arrived at my place today, i couldnt say no...

I think they are one of th classic best forks out there, the weight never bothered me...

Hammer and 2x4 is all I've ever needed. Work well for headsets too.
