Hopefully the big named suspension companies will uplift their void on the warranty after the shock is being pushed....I would think that push industries' main goal, would be to work on the trails with pro riders...any possibilities of that happening?
PUSH modifys more than just the valving in the fork- To my understanding, they actually drill into the lowers to fit new bushings with tighter tolerances. Why should the manufacturer have to cover anything under warrenty if this is the case? Having been on the benefiting end of several warrenty issues, I won't be giving that up any time soon to hear the "your fork's not welcome at our tent" treatment that I've seen before.
Buna-N is a type of rubber, also known as Nitrile. Seals can be made in any variety of rubbers and plastics, much like frames can be made from different metals with different properties.
he means preload on the bushings I think. In other words, with one you have to run it tighter then the other, and so you get more stiction with one then the other.
We definitely don't drill into the stock FOX lowers. The stock lowers are precision machined to a depth to seat the stock seal/wiper. In order to install the Rock Shox separate oil seal and wiper kits we machine the seal seat slightly deeper but to the same specification.
We have an agreement with both FOX and Rock Shox to handle our own warranty issues. As for support at the truck, FOX usually does not work on forks that we've tuned but RS will.
It is true that we've taken longer than we would've liked, but we've been testing several different tuning approaches. It hopefully won't be long now as the version we're now riding was made using production tooling...
what about the rumor of you guys using Rock Shox seals for Fox forks?
?? not a rumor. Darren Just told you what they do to fit RS seals/wipers in the fox forks....
