I've seen them when I went to the site after someone mentioned ND tuned on here, I think I'm definitely going to send it to them to replace the bushings and do a good service for now. Very tempted to do the stanchion replacement but maybe a bit later down the line. Thanks for the sound advice, I've found it very helpful!

I am just wondering how do they replace the stanchions? Is is something that slips over the old stanchion in some way or is it possible to actually replace the stanchion? Can the bushings on a sid/reba be replaced, I'm asking because most of the advice online indicates that only fox has replacement bushings. Thanks for your advice

Thanks guys, I found your advice to be very insightful. Will definitely look into some of your suggestestions.

Hi all So I have recently bought myself a fork with a touch of stanchion wear but great condition other than that. Now I am just wondering what do you guys do in general to prevent further wear from here on out. For now I plan on replacing the dust seals and doing an overall service just for peace of mind but don't know what else I can do to prevent it from wearing down even more. Is there a specific brand of dust seal that can help with this? What are some good dust seals/ service kits you guys would recommend for a rockshox sid/reba? This is a bit of a question on the side, but what causes stanchion wear exactly? My other fork (fox) I've had for over 4 years that I used on a daily basis (commuting and mountain biking) but it never picked up stanchion wear. But I am just curious as to what does cause the wear, is it just dust seals' material that gets harder over time and causes more wear because you don't service the fork, fork oil that lube the seals that runs out? Thank you all!
