Default Fox F100X

Do you know of any reviews/experience of the 2005 Fox 100X fork? I had a 2004 model that leaked oil on the right side after 5 months. After being in the Fox shop for 2 months it was reported lost, and a new 2005 F100X was sent to me.

I haven't had a chance to trail ride it yet, but so far the only difference between the '04 and the '05 seems to be cosmetic. Well, that and the '05 hasn't leaked oil...yet??

Well.....I've got the 2004 F80X, and it has been great. However a friend has a 2004 F100X that blew a seal after less than a month. No experience with the '05 though, sorry.

I had one of early 2004's, but with a simple seal swap-out I was back in business with no leaks. Thanks to the guys at Triangle Mountain Bikes for getting me the seals and helping with the swap out.

Btw, this is a sweet fork and it works perfectly.

Can't remember where I read it, but the 05 FX forks are slightly lighter. The weight has been shaved off some of the internals.


BTW, what 'sensitivity' settings do you guys run??
