In other words the slider sleeves are intended to be a service item, but you don't need the service kit - you do need tools and grease, and you WILL need to replace the slider sleeves (which are absent from XCR), but NOT every service. Replace the slider sleeves if the play is excessive (more than 1 mm at the fork brace)." To do so, apply the front wheel brake and gently push the bicycle back and forth at the handlebar stem shaft. "disassembly / cleaning the entire fork inside and out / cleaning and lubricating dust seals and slider sleeves / checking torques / adjusting to the riders liking.īefore disassembly, check the slider sleeve play of the fork. (suggested tightening torque: bolt: 10Nm, nut: 8Nm) / check for scratches, dents, cracks,ĭiscoloration, signs of wear and signs of minor corrosion (maintain with oily cloth), or oil leaks." - every 50 hours "Check function of fork / check torques of mountings screws and nuts on bottom of lowers On an XCR fork you still have the wipers, but no slider sleeves. The service interval is annually/100 hours. There is a difference between 'XCM' and 'XCM HLO' the former is a specific model, but 'XCM fork' could refer to an 'XCM' or an 'XCM HLO', where the former likely contains two springs as shown there, whereas XCM HLO will contain a spring and a sealed-for-life cartridge damper.
The diassembly visible there is of an old XCM fork without cartridge damper. If you are referring to XCT or XCE, they are constructed the same but XCE has 28mm stanchions and current XCT has 30mm. XCR lacks slider sleeves, and IME doesn't need much maintenance.
