Fork dust wiper seals??
« on: June 05, 2014, 11:28:14 AM »
Hey all, so I have searched like hell but can't find what I consider to be a definite answer on this.

My fork I'm rebuilding is (as far as I can tell, there has been some surprises) a K2 ... the seals I took out were 2 piece, one oil seal and a dust wiper.

I wanted to find new dust wiper seals but can't ... so is everyone just running newer style oil seals and NO DUST WIPER SEALS?

Is this right?  I'd rather just have the wiper seals.  In the thread below (best one I could find) one guy mentions making nylon spacers, I could do this, but why not have a wiper seal??

THANKS!

edit:  I know WHY not have any ... newer style seals far exceed the old etc etc I just don't like all that gap above the cir-clip.
