Hi guys, Just a quick one.I bought these Rockshox from ebay as a part of my recent bike build. Now I'm looking to give them a service with new seals etc.From looking on the internet I found that their Psylo XC 2002 model.Has anyone had any experience with these forks? Where do I start? Looking at the top of the crown, on one side I have the U-Turn adjuster and on the other just a plain black nut.Am I right in assuming, to change the oil its the leg with the flat black nut on top?Another thing that worries me is, on the manual that I found online.
NOS/NIB Rockshox Psylo XC Fork Lowers: 26' - Seals/Wipers - Disc Only - Includes Tullio 20mm Axle - BLACK.
It says that the adjust on the bottom of the fork leg is supposed to have a 90 degree turn from firm and soft. However mine freely turns. I can only assume that something has come apart inside the fork leg. Any thoughts? The rebound - 90deg turn. There is a tube with a slit in at the top inside the shocks. The 90deg turn open and shuts that slit which in turn allows more or less oil through the void.
This inturn effects the rebound - rate of return. Yours is broken - not fixable im afraid - I believe that you can purchase a new one I just dont know where?
I am interested however as my rock shox psylos are in the same state. If you find some where to purchase this item (im guessing cost cannot be more than a tenner) let me know. Is there a proper service guide for these forks?i want knew fox jobbies but due to house refurb they are on hold ofr the mo.i looked on the proper sram fox links but ones a how to use guide and others just for lower bushes i thiiink.be good to service these and use em for a bit then when i get new i will have a general heads up on fork servicing.stanchions fine on mine, rebound will work but has gone tight with crap ingress.happened prior.but theyre starting to be not so plush or free as prior.the sag doesnt release so well when ya release your weight.they need some love.
American bike suspension company RockShox was founded by Paul Turner and Steve Simons in North Carolina in 1989. It moved to California in 1992, and then to Colorado in 2000, but, since 2002, production has been in Taichung, Taiwan, with only a small test facility remaining in Colorado Springs. It is now part of.Over the years, RockShox has led the way in the development of mountain bike suspension – soon after the birth of the company, it released its first suspension fork, the RS-1, and company test rider Greg Herbold became the first world champion in downhill.

However, RockShox experienced financial problems in the 1990s as competitors, such as and RST sprang up, and it wasn’t until joining up with SRAM that the company’s future was secured.Current forks in the RockShox range include the dual air SID and the coil Boxxer, both in production since 1998. In 2011, the latest model, the budget-priced Sektor, was introduced, with Motion Control damping and the new Dual Position Coil.
There are also five types of rear shocks – the Monarch, Monarch Plus, Vivid, Vivid Air, and Kage.Many of the world’s top riders use RockShox suspension, including Canadian Steve Smith who secured the downhill World Cup title in 2013 riding an SRAM X0 DH equipped with RockShox BlackBox Boxxer and Vivid. Other downhillers using RockShox in 2013 included (fourth overall) and two-time World Champion (second overall).
