RockShox Judy XC 95/96 - 3D Printed Elastomers (Looking for original Dimensions)

[Gringoling]

cant find them online so gonna try making them from TPU

 

[captaincowelly]

Don't know if you've already tried but there are a couple of members on here producing elastomers. I'm currently ordering from @rva .

Don't bother printing, just order some @john Deverill, best elastomers ive used and tuned to your weight ,
He's a member on here to so easy to find

Couldn't say which are the best as I haven't tried them all,but two good options there I reckon.
And welcome to the forum!Hope you find everything you need here.Without spending all your savings!It happens.

I have some fancy filament that i really want to try. its 82A shore, 650% stretch and chemically resistant. Im only afraid of compression, but i only can find out by trying them. My fork doesnt have elastomers all the way trough, only one on each side above the coils so it wouldnt be too dramatic if they give up in a short period. Seems like the fork has been used like that for a decade without any damage, i bought it used with a raleigh technium for only 30€

Not an expert on Rockshox but it sounds like the elastomers in your forks could be bump-stops so will only come into effect when the fork bottoms/tops out.They will be sprung/oil damped.That being the case,the elastomer you choose will not have a big effect on operation,as long as it has some give and doesn't disintegrate.
If I've got it wrong I'm sure someone else will know these forks.
Always good to see someone having a go themselves though!

As captains said in that case give it a go
I confused the Judy with the indy which have along elastomers doh .
I've got a set of Judy xc with a whole in one leg if you find you need any spares (just for the postage btw if there the same )

Spring and MCU is 1997 Type2 era, before full spring in 1998 and after Multiple MCU in 95/96.
A full fork picture would help.

Anyway got Type2.
Indy will be 115mm
Judy will be 100mm unless Long Travel and then they are 115mm.

If they are over 6mm shorter then they need replacing.
Diameter is 18mm* (might be different as I'm not sure, just measure the caps etc to check.)

That could be single full length solid Indy elastomer? Could be 22mm?

Measuring with the calipers gave me around ≈25mm.

They're 1995/1996 Judy XC, if you have spring in, they've been upgraded.
And your elastomer/mcu may be different as they have to work with the caps there.

In the inside picture I t looked like a Jax Connector.
Any pictures of the innards or what's left.

Once cleaned out, compress the stanchion completely, mark it, the pull it out completely and you can measure the travel. It'll be ~50, 60 or 80 depending on year (damper fitted).
