Re: Hi Fluffy, and thanks. Sorry but I cannot understand the procedure mentioned by you "pump the oil in as you do it to remove air from the lower chambers", i pour the oil from the bottle, never pump it in, and never remove the air, just press the fork down, should I pump the oil instead or...

Re: Ok get it, is also called red silicone, the one used on mechanical field in very hot situations with oil and mechanical stess, like the one used on the basement of the engine cylinders and so on

Re: Thanks a lot! I was following the rockshox mag21/10 pdf, for pressure and oil density, I'm 72kg. I was using normal domestic silicon tube, the one used on the bathrooms. I know is not the right one, but just because I want to buy the nitrile cord on eBay, when the actual valves will...

Re: Hi at all! My mag 10 is OK now, silicone self made valves are fine, but too soft i think. But I suspect that something is wrong on this fork, because the rebound is not soft(too fast) , like the oil doesn't make the job, but I can hear the oil noise (squeeek squeeek :) ) . Oil quantity...

Yes, because the nitrile capsule/valve have a conic hole on the adjuster rod,so,the pin don't need to go trough 8mm of nitrile material, but only, i will say, 4mm. Silicone is very soft,easy to pierce, but easy to damage, BUT at the end , when i've already prepared 10 "self made" spare...

Re: Hi Fluffy, I was reading all your post regarding this matter, so mine is the 94 mag 10, the rubber capsule is inside allumin cylinder. You know maybe how many centimeters it will be cut? The rubber extracted is 8mm high, but maybe because squeeze for long time? I read somebody cut the...

Yes ,you're right ! Thanks i let you know how it's working in the very next days :)

Ok , you mean to made a point with 3 faces ? anyway i will try with syringe needle, and still use it for inflating (after rounding the sharp tip),less the hole is less air will be loose.I will adapt with bi -component adhesive , the syringe needle to the pump adapter (without using the football...

Thanks a lot for your quick reply FSXStumpy ! You know maybe , the best way/tool for pierce the new valve on the center ? Medical syringe or different tool ? Thanks !

Re: Dear all, i'm in trouble with my Rock shox MAG10 ,because the air valve. you think this "silicone" cord with 8,4mm diametrer ,cutted to 10mm lenght will be ok instead to self made it ? Thanks a lot to help me on this. http://www.ebay.it/itm/Metric-Black-Rub ... 1895290528

Re: Thanks guys ! i will try to dismount the fork during this weekend ,maybe the internal o'ring and other still fine,maybe i can found somebody who know how many oil need to be putted in and which air pressure...i will try to fix this fork even that the external gold paint is a little bit...

Re: and after...

Hi Guys, here my TRAK middle 90's , in very good state,with original color and decals,all parts are original. Looks good? :mrgreen: Before and After:

First of all,i want to repair it, ride and ,maybe sell after...but i don't want spend 300Eur for repairing it and realize 150 as selling price. In few words, i don't know if is better to refurnish it with original parts (the market is looking for a retrobike like this?) or reinvented it with...

Thanks a lot Mike, the fact is that, repairing the fork will cost a lot here (i'm in Italy), i will say, around 130 Eur ,and i'm not able to do this because haven't right tools. And when i will decide to sell it, maybe i'll get only 150Eur for it (maybe,because i don't know the market value)...
