Hi guys

Got myself some Hyper Pro Springs and expect I will (or would be best) to change all o-rings and seals just to be safe when replacing. Looking at Robinson's

which parts should I order to be in a better safe than sorry position when I have everything taken to bits. Suspect I will need parts 5,7 and 20. Could anyone confirm?

Current forks are of a K2 with 7500 miles.

Cheers

Rob

The fork does not need to be dismantled to change the spring - only the top cap needs to be removed. Therefore you won't need to replace anything, well not unless you knack something.

Perhaps a little oil if you need to top up, otherwise as Mr Squid says. 10 minute job to swap springs.

When were the forks last serviced? May be worth considering replacing the oil also.

I doubt they have ever been opened before. So about 7.5k miles over the last 10 years. Been told the bike was parked up for a long time so I imagine it will be minging when I look at it.

Got new oil to put in anyway.

Cheers sid. Yea looked at a few videos online I think even my spanner skills can manage it
