Identify the fork?
I have a Trek Alpha 4900 frame with a Rock Shox front shock. I bought the frame used and built it up. However I can't identify the shock model. I even emailed the serial number to SRAM and they can't positively identify it. Its either a Judy or Jett. Frame is from 99 or 2000 I think.
Anyway when I took the shock apart, it has a spring in the left leg under the preload adjustment knob and just oil in the right. The shock is white to match the bike frame with Rock Shox stickers on both legs but nothing else to identify it. Thanks. |

Re: Identify the fork?
It is definitely not a TT - different internals. I need to figure out the model of Judy so I can figure out the amount and weight of oil for the legs.

Re: Identify the fork?
Sure it it - SRAM owns Rock Shox. Can you also tell me how much oil and the weight to pt in each leg?
Here is a picture: |

Re: Identify the fork?
Coil spring in the left (with preload), oil damper in the right? I would guess that it's a Rock Shox Pilot
I had one of those on my old commuter bike and your photo looks identical, right down to the colours and general shape of everything. Except mine had a sticker with "PILOT C" written on it  Can't help you with oil weight/amount and such, as when I tried to service it I spilt all the oil on the floor and didn't know what to do next (I'm hopeless with hydraulics, hehe).. since it was on a commuter bike, I just set it to its most stiff position and forgot about it

Re: Identify the fork?
Thanks Rek. As long as I know the model I can find the oil specs somewhere!
