Kritzie Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 My Fox 100RL shock after a bumpy ride had some oil residue on the top of the shock tubes, how much residue is normal, it actually ran down the tube a bit on both sides. The shock is new and has only done a few rides!!! Is this normal or should I take it to the bikeshop!! Still learning about the mountainbike stuff but is more on the dark side than ever!!!!
