Just got a Pike, and it came with a Baggie with a full compliment of seals, wipers, and whatnot. When did this start? Kinda makes me worry, to be honest!
Also the 'manual' is WORTHLESS, basically just goes over how to use the Maxle.
Get off my lawn.

I 100% agree. Why the hell would they provide something that will be needed to keep the product running if used as intended? What a bunch of butt holes.

At least you can find helpful Rock Shox tech docs if you need them. Marzocchi is truly worthless in that regard.

 

[IH8Rice]

RS started that a few years ago...they should also include a bottle of oil since they still dont come with the right amount. and Marz's manual isnt worth the paper is printed on...but at least its in 10 languages

 

[rideit]

Oh, I'm not unhappy that they included seals, but it never was so before. I'm happy to have them! The question is how long do they expect the originals to last?

 

[WestCoastHucker]

try them now...

even if the seals last for 10 minutes.... you have complimentary brand new seals!

...but you are upset about it

Probably because sitting around swapping seals is way less fun than going out and riding your bike.

 

[Muddy]

It means they are going to stop making the Fork tomorrow. Now you have seals.

 

[CBJ]

Just ride the fork until it needs new seal. If it ain't broke don't fix it. This is how I ran my Boxxer which was still in good shape when I sold it and has worked great on my Pike too.

 

[rideit]

Well, yeah, that's the plan, of course.

[OffCamber]

There's also a pump hidden behind the cardboard. Google how to use the Maxle .

 

[blindboxx2334]

one of the best threads of 2015 thus far.

 

[kidwoo]

I have a truck that came with an extra key. WTF?

It's like they're calling me stupid, implying I lose things. Dicks.

 

[4130biker]

My OEM Pike didn't come with seals. im jealous, just fire them out yonder over to Washington state here if you don't want em

 

[rideit]

It should have come with two pumps.

 

[kidwoo]

How you dress is your concern, footwear included.

 

[jstuhlman]

new fork comes with scarf? SWEET.

 

[rideit]

well, the foam oil seals ARE white...

I got a set of pikes, but I only got one

 

[jstuhlman]

I got a set of pikes, but I only got one

only one of these when you ordered two?

or only one of these?

either way, bummer, man.

 

[tomasis7]

Rockshox SUCKS so much that while shipping the fork to you, seals needs to be replaced after you got it!

Warranty is VOIDED if you ride the fork without replacing seals. Dont come and start complaining about scratches of stanchion in next new thread.

RS wont give seals free without reason, obviously.

[slimshady]

Still beats opening the box and finding two of these instead...

i have the same feeling when i buy a cheeseburger and it come with cheese

...at 3:00am on a Tuesday. Try eating at normal time windows. Order the hamburger even why not.

 

[no skid marks]

Since they reduced the lips

 

[demonprec]

years back i had a Magura Rond Big EGO inverted fork , it came with a tool kit , spare seals , bushings , oil , axle, steer tube , and a manual on how rebuild and tune .

[kickstand]

is this like buying a car and getting a full sized spare tire? I always hate those little donut spares....
