KiNgL Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Howdy. I ride a 2011 merida 96.It is an awesome machine and really enjoy riding it. This past weekend i went to groen kloof and attacked the rock garden section witha lot of speed, after doing my second lap i noticed a lot of dust collecting on the leftside of my Magura Durin 100 shock. I cant recall ever noticing this on any of my previous bikes shocks both rock shox.Is this a problem or normal ? Shock has done about 50hrs and is setup according to my weight and manufacturers specs.Anything to be worried about
Johan Bornman Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Your oil seals are gone on that side. Good luck in finding spares from Merida or Magura. Dont carry on riding like this. If oil can leak out, much can leak in.
Johan Bornman Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 No warrantee. One cannot gaurantee seals and the like. These are essentially consumables with a finite life.
KiNgL Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) No warrantee. One cannot gaurantee seals and the like. These are essentially consumables with a finite life.Eish , ya bike still has a warranty for a while still.. So who is the local Magura / Merida agent?Or who can i trust to service/ repair my shock.cheers Edited February 1, 2011 by KiNgL
The Drongo Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 KINgL Magura Durin had a recall in 2008/09 for their Race 80/100 forks due to weakness in the lower legs.Maguras have also had a problems with leaking oil seals which they have promised is sorted for 2011.!!?? Is your frame/fork def. a 2011 manufacture? At +- 50 hours of riding I would be straight back to the LBS! I agree with Johan. If you continue to ride it you are going to cause damage that will void any hope of warranty. Fight it! (Possibly leaving out the 'smashing through rock gardens' bit.) If this is a Race100, it is not really intended for big boy riding
Meentb Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Magura have new agents in sa. Just do a search on the hub. You'll find them. Guys name is corrie

KiNgL Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 can anyone help narrow down the search for magura agent in s.a ? i been searching all forums for the past 35min
Johan Bornman Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 can anyone help narrow down the search for magura agent in s.a ? i been searching all forums for the past 35min I found the agent details on the Magura.com website last week or so. There is a ZA agent listed there. However, don't hold your breath, he still has not returned calls and messages. That Durin is now happily riding with Enduro seals. Done, sealed and dusted. There's nothing so special in that fork that only an agent can supply.
