Enduro Seals vs. Fox Seals

Ooh, while we're on the sbject.

 

I'll be sending my Marzo 350 off for a service soon(ish) and have the option to have a set of SKF low friction seals fitted.

 

Are these any better than the regular replacement parts used on Marzo's?

Does anybody know where we can buy SKF kits directly from SKF agent ???

I tried looking them up when first announced. Could not find them and SKF agent didn't know. Maybe now that some time has elapsed......

 

They come in pre-packaged kits with SKF branding but the international RRP is quite high. Similar price to the Fox kits and those have SKF seals in anyway.

Try some Fox Gold 20wt oil in your lowers for low friction .... super stuff .... just check for compatibility as it is apparently not compatible with some older types of seals. Since Fox bought Marzo I reckon there is a good chance the info will be available......

The only 350 I've seen already had the SKF seals fitted as standard.

 

Where are you sending the fork that's giving you the option?

Interesting. I honestly don't know whether my seals are SKF or not.

 

I'm contemplating mailing my fork to these guys for a service: http://marzocchiworkshop.blogspot.be/p/service-via-windwave.html

 

They offer the SKF seals when you send your fork to them.

 

I'm in Belgium, so postage wouldn't be too hectic (I hope). I haven't found a Marzocchi service centre here in Belgium yet, so these guys seem to be a viable option.

West Cape Bearings, SKF agents can source and get SKF seal kits. 

Unfortunately price similar to LBS :mellow:
