Shout out to "Mountain Bike Suspension Centre"
I took my DT forks and fox RP23 to Simon @ Mountain Bike Suspension Centre.

What a fantastic service experience.
Simon is friendly and professional.
only took 2 days to turn around - ensuring I had my suspension back for the weekend.
He took photos of the filthy oil that came out of my shocks and kept the buggered seals to show me when I came to pick them up.
went for a ride this weekend and it was like riding a new bike. the suspension is smooth and plush again.

My new-ish Jones non-suspended 29er
A few years ago I met a guy on the Oaks who was riding a Pugsly. I asked, "why that bike". He shrugged & replied, "why does anyone choose any bike". That left me flat, thinking there must be something more in his choice. So, here's my effort to explain my odd choice: I've been eying (read "lusting after") Jeff Jones' bike for years — http://jonesbikes.com/ . Jones designs mountain bikes with a focus on making "non-suspended" and great riding bikes. As a designer, what first attracted me to these machines was the years of careful, consistent and steadily developing design at work.
Suspension stuff up?
A few months ago I serviced my own forks. Not too hard following the instructions & with great result. There is one result that I'm actually very happy about, but it is a stuff up. That is, when my 'lock out' is on, my forks are quite stiff, but the suspension still works.
So now I have two settings. Instead of 'on' or 'off' like it's designed to be, it's 'on' or '70% off' which I think is BRILLIANT! Just what I wanted. So, how did this happen? How can I make sure this happens again next service!

Suspension Foam Ring Cleaning?
I am servicing my forks for the first time. The SRAM website docs are pretty clear, & the YouTube SRAM videos are great. I'm ready to reattach the lower legs, but should I bother cleaning the foam rings inside the dust seal?
They really aren't that dirty, & I'd rather not replace the bushings completely considering my bike has only done 100hrs of light use. Nothing loose.
