Fork Parts / Spares
Used MTB fork parts and spares from sellers across the UK — dust seals, foam rings, bushings, damper cartridges, air springs, lowers, crowns and more. Keep your fork running between services, or strip one for parts.
Which fork parts wear out first?
Most fork issues come down to a handful of wear items. Knowing which parts to replace and when saves you money on full rebuilds and keeps your fork performing between professional services. Seals and foam rings are usually bundled together in service kits.
How often should dust seals and foam rings be replaced?
Dust seals and foam rings are the first line of defence against dirt and water getting into the fork internals. Replace these every 50-100 hours of riding, or whenever you notice oil weeping past the seals. SKF and Enduro make aftermarket seals that often outlast the OEM ones from Fox and RockShox.
When do fork bushings need replacing?
Guide bushings sit between the stanchions and lowers and control how smoothly the fork moves. When they wear, you get play and a vague feeling through the bars. DU bushings are self-lubricating and available from most fork service suppliers. Replacing them requires a bushing press tool.
Should you replace or rebuild a blown damper?
If your damper is blown — the fork either dives with no resistance or feels locked solid — a cartridge replacement is often more practical than a rebuild, especially on older forks. Aftermarket cartridges from brands like Avalanche, Fast Suspension and Sprindex can upgrade budget forks significantly.
How do air springs and volume spacers work?
Air springs rarely fail, but the negative air spring seals can lose pressure over time, causing the fork to sit low in its travel. Volume spacers (tokens) let you tune the spring curve — more spacers create a more progressive feel that resists bottoming out. Both are listed under springs.
