Yup, SEALFORCE - HOME based in Dundee

Ooh, might be just what I'm looking for, for my Mountain bike fork air spring.

Had a set of Rock Shox Lyrik 2-Step forks. There is an design issue with one of the seals, that allows air to escape from the air spring chamber and collect under the top cap in the 2-step control reservoir, slowly reducing the available travel of the fork as you use them.

Mine went back to the distributor 3 times under warranty for service and each time they came back with the same fault. I even worked out what was causing the problem but they couldn't sort it with stock Rock Shox parts so built me a new set of Lyriks with a Solo Air spring.

They stopped making the 2-Step system as there was so many forks affected but I managed to get a spare 2-Step assembly, just need to find a seal that will stop the air leaking from the chamber.

Might need a quad ring or just a better material, perhaps Viton instead of NBR. Just need to get some large syringes, graduated cylinders, shock oil and a service kit then start playing with seal materials to find one that works.

I also need to do an oil change and service on my Fox DHX 5 Air rear shock with thicker oil or a shim stack change so I can tune the pro-pedal to get it working properly for my bike.
 
My PV came from focalecig today and it vapes great. The only issue is that the o-rings supplied seem too thin as the top and the wall can be pulled apart very easily as can the wall from the base.

Has anyone else had this issue, or know where I can get some replacement o-rings that will hold it together?
