Fork seals and temperature changes
Moose.
Posts: 43
I've been pondering the failure of my RS Revelations internal seal that allowed all the oil from the Motion Control to get into the lowers. Upon opening them up I found no problems at all with any of the o-rings and am planning on just re-filling with oil again.
I live in Indonesia where it's a pretty constant 30 degrees+ all year round outside. However, my house is a cool 19 degrees inside (thanks air-con!) which is where I store my bike. Anyone know if constantly taking the bike between these temperature differences have an adverse affect on the seals? Or anything else for that matter?!?

Shouldn't be a problem. I regularly take mine out of the house (20 degrees or so) into snow (not many degrees at all) with no problems.

not heat. mine get used over a much bigger temp range. from -20 to +35 C"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

It was just a thought
And trust me, biking in 30 degrees heat is not as fun as it sounds! It scares me the amount of water I drink on a ride out... 0
