RockShox Fork Service Kit - Basic | Reba 12Boost A5-A6 (2016-2017)
What does the RockShox Basic Fork Service Kit for Reba A5-A6 include?
The RockShox Fork Service Kit - Basic | Reba 12Boost A5-A6 (2016-2017) includes the dust seals, foam rings, and O-ring seals for a lower leg service on a 2016 or 2017 RockShox Reba Boost fork, generations A5 and A6. This is the set of soft parts RockShox specifies for the regular lower leg service that keeps the stanchions sliding on fresh oil and keeps grit out of the bushings. It is a RockShox genuine kit, so the seal dimensions match the fork rather than a close-enough aftermarket guess.
A lower leg service is the maintenance most riders skip and the one that makes the biggest difference in how a fork feels: fresh seals and foam rings, new bath oil, and the fork moves through the first part of its travel again instead of sticking. This kit covers the seals and rings for one fork; damper and air spring service parts are separate kits. Check the generation code on your fork before ordering, because RockShox changed seal specs between Reba versions and this kit is for the A5 and A6 Boost forks only. Bring the fork to the lab if you want us to do the service, or grab the kit and a bottle of RockShox bath oil and do it on the bench.
