Hey guys, I haven't been on here in awhile but I'm just now starting to get the bug to ride again. A couple years ago I got a great deal on a used Psylo XC fork from someone on here. I got a good 2 seasons out of it riding on the stock "yellow" spring that comes in it. This spring is for 140lb riders and I'm about 190-195....lol. Long story short, its time for a fork service on it, because its leaking some fork oil out the top. Blue or Black U-Turn springs which are the springs I SHOULD be using for my weight are impossible to find as this fork is discontinued. The fork service is about $100.....finding this spring is impossible, and will be around probobly $50 before its all over. So we are looking at around $150 to service a 5 year old fork. Here's where you come in.... if by some miraculous chance you have a firm or extra firm Uturn spring for a Psylo XC, LET ME KNOW! Otherwise I'm thinking about buying a solid used fork from someone that I can get some seasons out of before it too needs a rebuild. It has to be somewhat cheap as well, maybe someone who got a new fork already. My riding style is cross country to mild all-mountain...nothing huge. Some hits here and there. 85-100mm forks are about all I can use, as my frame is a late 90's Trek6000. PM's welcome ......Thanks guys

You probably don't need bushings. I would think $20 for seals (if needed) and about $20-40 labor would be in the ballpark I guess.
