Yesterday I rode through what I thought was a puddle but turned out to be some kind of River and I went face first into the water.
the only thing is the water went above the seal level on my forks and then they compressed, I have images of the forks sucking in loads of water when the compressed. what should i do....unless the blow air out of the seals then that would be fine!
its a Fox Float 07 fork

so what keeps the oil in the fork?
don't worry about it.
the forks still work the same?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

yes there still the same, but nothing will be rotting inside then? Sam"Convoy?!, Micheal your spending you time with someone who uses a collective term for a single vehicle!"0

If oil and air don't leak out of the fork then water cannot get in.0

The water would have to under fairly high pressure to penetrate the seals (like from a pressure washer). Fox forks are top end anyway and the seals are pretty good.It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
