servicing a fox evo fork.

mike hunts alpine

I have 2014 fox 34 evo o/c ctd 160mm forks I have recently given them a lower leg service a few months back. Id say they are due a proper service now approaching 1 year old as they seem to be suffering increased stiction even with storing bike upside down on ocasion and lubing stantions with a small amount of float fluid.they seem to be not performing as well as they should. Not getting full travel and seem to be less plush/ more harsh even after lowering air pressure. Can't seem to find a video or instructions on a damper/ air service which ever I need to do. Not really wanting to pay the service prices as I am well capable. Any info on how to and what I will need please.

Doesn't look as easy a RS forks, hence why I'm switching my 32 to a revelation after only 50 miles

Doesn't seem to list my fork or similar one with o/c damper. Or have I missed it?

That might be my bad, now seem to remember thinking the same now you mention it, however the one for the fit damper may be some use.

I send mine to Mojo to get done. If you screw up any parts servicing the fork yourself it will be far more expensive that what mojo charge. And they do a fantastic job. Forks come back buttery smooth. Plus it keeps your warranty.

When you say "not working as well as they should" - mine were like that from new. It's not servicing they need, its a bin.

Pretty sure It is feeling less plush and isn't me just noticing as my riding improves tbh but it could be

The Evo damper is sealed. Just give them a lower lube.
The only CTD Evo forks I have ridden were dreadful. A set of Rockshox Tora's would be an upgrade.
