Need internals for Judy T2 forks

[konarob8]

Hi guys

I was stripping and replacing bits on my Kona Caldera (1998 Cro-Mo, bliss!) and I decided to clean and re grease etc my Judy T2 forks. Haven't had them serviced for a while (oops) and thought there was something amiss. Indeed there was, one of the internal seals (between the elastomer/spring assembly and the lower spring) is completely knackered. I can't put it back in as is, and can't find any obvious replacements.

Anyone got any ideas?

What about a replacement if I can't find the bits I need? Hard to come by a fork with that little travel and weight now.

You got a picture of the part ?
These forks or JUDY anyway pop up quite a lot. Just depends which year as to what part it is (sounds like 1998, first year of the T2, black in colour and still using Type II 'spring' system) with the MCU/Spring setup. Known as Type II system.

If it is then service manual is here http://members.home.nl/children-of-the- ... Manual.pdf

Yes it is the 1998 Judy T2 in black. I'll get a photo of the part tomorrow night. Thanks guys.

Replaced

I ended up replacing them with Dart3's the extra 20mm travel doesn't seem to alter things too much (haven't done a big ride yet though).

Its ended up as an almost complete re-build, new shocks, new brakes, new cables, new crankset, new rear wheel, new cassette, new chain etc.

The only thing I kept was the frame, the stems, the saddle, shifters and the front wheel.

I even got the frame re-sprayed at Armourtex and new decals from Graphics Shack. Thanks guys

Looks great, nice to have my beauty back in top condition, nice to have done most of the work myself too.
