Hi,

I have got a 2014 Canyon Nerve 29er with Fox Performance 32's. They are listed as having 110mm travel. I need to do a lower leg service on them now and was wondering how much oil I need to put back into the lowers. I have looked on Foxs' chart and cannot find this fork. Can anyone help? Will 30cc each side be ok?

    Depends, if they are an o/b fork it'll be miles too little on the damper side

    Spoke with MOJO - 40cc in each leg.

    Hi,

    Clocked up 35hours (450km) of riding so far and Fox recommend a lower leg service every 30 hours.

    Just to clarify all this involves is removing the lowers, cleaning and reoiling the foam rings and a change of the oil in each leg. This took me 45mins to do including removal and re fitting of fork so quite easy. It has made a difference to the fork too - feels brand new and supple as ever.

    That's great that it worked out well, but fox's recommendation is way OTT tbh

    Well the Fox website says 30ml in each leg. I rang Mojo and they said they out in 40ml as this better suits our weather.

    Having thought I mis-heard them I rang Mojo again and was given the 40ml again

    I'm sure they know what they are doing.

    I think he means OTT in that every 30 hours is more often than necessary.

    Ahhh, I see. Well yes, it does seem a little excessive - but to be fair it was a doddle (once I had bought Fox Oil, Fox Float Fluid, a rubber mallet, crush washers, syringe)...maybe that is why Fox are so keen!
