04 vanilla rlc: need damper

[Troutbum]

I need a new damper for my old girl. Does Fox still support 2004? Would they ship me parts? ..or would someone like PUSH be able to hook me up? Also wondering if it would be feasible financially... hate to waste the rest of the fork.

Thanks

Push is probably your best option, Fox is a real PITA to deal with. Just call them and find out.

Finally heard back from Fox and and I can order parts.... but it's half the cost of the original fork. I'm going to scrounge Ebay & such for another beater to mix & match parts. PUSH was very prompt and concerned with being helpful, btw.

Now, anyone have an opinion on a rigid carbon fork? I think this is the perfect excuse to grab one as a temp/backup and revisit old school riding.

Push is the Shizzzlnizzle. Go with those guys. The carb fork is a great idea too. But they just don't handle like a Pushed fork. Or any Squishy fork for that matter. But I did love my rigid when I was whipping it. Push will get you going for the fraction of the price and it will be all new bits. The used fork Idea is valid but do you really want to go through the hassle of buying a fork that may/may not have the same issue that you already have.
