RST Mozo Comp's...UPDATE: taken apart and found this...

Re:

Are they any good? Yes...

As for the differences between the two? I only have a shed full of the damn things but it's been so_oooo long!

They both have an MCU/coil stack in each stanchion; one has an air valve (damper) each leg, the other has an air valve in one leg and a travel adjuster in the other...

...I think the Comp has the travel adjuster?

I have a 4" travel MozoPro on my 'raw' Explosif, is how much I rate them; but then again, I would!

Re:

Quick update guys, took them apart and found this! No elastomers anywhere to be seen, and just this spring in each leg, along with loads of very fresh looking grease, seals and stantions look perfect....so what have I got and will this work OK with a spring in both legs??

(Excuse my ignorance, but I've never done anything like this before, hence my excitement. Sad really... :facepalm: )

Re:

They should work fine; the springs provide the 'boing!' and the air damper slows everything down...

...if that pressure rod in the stanchion at the top is plastic you have a travel adjuster in that leg and the fork is a 'Comp...'

...if it is metal you have two air-dampers and it is a 'Pro.'

Re:

Thanks Stevo, these are labelled as the 'Comp' but I'm off out to check for travel adjuster as who knows exactly what I've got! Nice clean use-able set of forks though.

I don't have any circlip pliers, the manuals are on about me removing the compression rod from each stanchion?

Think I'll just put them loosely back together for now as when my landlady comes home she might not be impressed by me having them all spread out over her teak garden furniture.... :facepalm:

Re:

Yes, you need the circlip pliers to release the alloy plug that holds in the rod/damper...

...the damper is a drilled alloy slug with three rubber o-rings that slides up and down inside the stanchion; I take mine apart, clean them up, replace the o-rings if necessary, clean up the inside of the stanchions, re-grease, reassemble, job done.

One justifiable criticism that was levelled at these forks BiTD is that they tend to suffer from a bit of 'sticktion' initially; I find if you pump them a couple of times before the ride (Ooh-er! ) they work just fine for the rest of the day...

Re:

Thanks, I'll service them more thoroughly once I have the right tools or if I decide I'm keeping them, the important thing is they looked near perfect in there and the stanchions are clean and scratch free.

Can't decide whether to put them on the Kona, they do seem a very worthy fork, but might be turning the Kona into a road going bike with slicks... :facepalm:
