So, about a month ago, I finally decided to get a pair of fork seals for my bike, hurra! My 2010 boxxer races has been crying for some new seals, so I ordered them up on the website, payed via paypal and sent them an email. I got no reply at all, which was kinda weird... two weeks passed and decided to call, no answer, just a machine talking about how they are apparently relocating¿? OOOPS! why wasnt this posted on the website? or did I just miss this? Called again today, same story, any one anything about them? Will I ever see my seals? Lost cause?

 

[stumpjump]

It was on the site a while ago. Email them and Im sure theyll get back to you pretty quickly. They always been spot on with customer service with me.

 

[Welshy.]

I've ordered several things from them, and emailed them on numerous occasions, and they've always been A+ with their customer service.

Try another email.

I'll agree that their website is a little outdated, and tends to be neglected a little, thus the reason their relocation wasn't posted there. I'm sure moving an operation of that size is a stressful ordeal, so once they're done they'll probably contact you with all the apologies they can muster.

Good luck with it!

after hearing pros and cons to the enduro seals, i decided to try a set on one of my Lyriks. enduro seals = total garbage, at least on that fork. worst stiction i've seen in my life. don't know if it's a QC issue w/ enduro -- some people have good luck, some not as good.

I've had excellent customer service from them. My 4 yr daughter took a screwdriver and hammer to one of the wipers that I left on the workbench. I emailed asking if I could buy a replacement. Next thing I know a replacement arrived in the mail free of charge.

The seals are on a Pike on my DS bike and I haven't really abused them yet but so far they feel really good.

Had a chance to use enduro wiper seals on my fork and it's the biggest crap i have ever seen. Ridiculus amount of stiction. After I had installed them on my fork it absolutely stopped moving(they were crazy tight). Btw those enduro seals were made for newer WB models with 32mm stanchions, as they had no seals for older models(mine was old DH2 with 31.75mm stanchions!!!). After deinstalation they deformed so much, that they were not sealing at all when i tried to install them again ...

I haven't had any problems with my enduro seals fox 40 or boxxer wc, no stiction, no leaking, took awhile to arrive, but arrive they did.

 

[jekyll991]

I love the enduros on my lyrik. The spring side leaked little (more than like user error) but some super thick oil fixed that. I used some of the stanchion lube they sell but no slick honey and it made the fork go from good to great.

Before I got the enduros my fork would only rebound to 145mm without me pulling up on the bar, with them it goes all the way to 160mm consistently.

 

[cableguy]

Worked great on my Revelation. No more leaking/weeping, and haven't really noticed stiction.

 

[Eastern States Cup]

after break in they worked super for me.

 

[jonKranked]

I have them on an older Fox Vanilla RLC. They were installed shortly before it came into my possession. There was some stiction at first, after they broke in some there were fine. It's my understanding that this is fairly common.

admit it, you douched them up trying to remove them

 

[karpi]

I have no doubt they have a great product, thats why I bought them in the first place. Oh well, 2 emails and a message on facebook page, hope that works? I want my seals soon!

 

[jason3559]

As mentioned above, the break in period was fairly significant for me (Fox 40 and 32 Van RLC). The long term testing showed no appreciable gain in performance compared to stock Fox seals, both in longevity and day to day need for maintenance. Lastly, if using them impacts the manufactures warranty (not sure), I don't see an advantage using them.

My advise, use the stock seals...at least for Fox forks.

I've run Enduro seals on several forks over the years (all my Fox forks ended up with Enduros at some point) and don't have anything terribly negative to say about 'em. As I understand it, they are spec'ed to a very high level of pressure, hence the tight fit and stiction. I dunno... was never really an issue for me. Definitely a lot better than the stock "seal" imo (particularly for folks like myself who don't maintain super tight service intervals). YMMV.

As for customer service, I've never purchased anything online. I go direct to the source (ABI Industries) in Oakland, CA. Walk in, pay cash, walk out with goodies. The folks are very helpful/friendly.

(Obviously this doesn't help the OP since he's in Chile, but for those of you Bay Area folks......)

 

[karpi]

yup, in Chile, haha still waiting on some answer, hope this thread grabs their attention.

You have a very smart daughter, she knows they are rubbish.

 

[MDJ]

haha, I didn't think anyone would believe that, even though it's the truth. To her a screwdriver fixes everything and is a tool of destruction.

 

[frorider]

i knew they had a reputation for being sticky during the break-in period, but mine never broke in after 10+ rides. I suppose if I rode another 50 rides they'd break in eventually, but since the stock RS seals work fine for me, I don't see the point.

 

[karpi]

cool, even though its kinda late, I got an email from Chris at Enduro (both via email and facebook) which was really nice, I hope I can see me seals soon! My fork is looking forward to it!

Make sure you put some triflow on the seals every ride or 2. It helps keep them cleaned and lubed. Everyone that bitches about how tight they are never does this. Mine have felt great since day one

I had my Boxxer rebuilt a couple months ago and enduro seals put in. They were a tad bit tight for the first day but I use triflow every few rides and the fork feels like butter now.

 

[eatmyshorts]

their is probably a good reason fox dont use something similar to these seals on production forks...
