I guess the kind of use I give a fork is way over what most forks ever actually see. My rebas did close to 4000 miles in a year, all in the UK, mostly over winter or in rainy wales.
Heh, reba air can and lowers service interval is like 50 hours or something. You must have been busy with the oil pan...
Howard-
The guy at TF said manufacturer recommended service intervals are bullshit, but I should still aim to change oil every 3 months given the mileage I'm doing.
I can't be bothered. I'll put them on the bike for certain events that warrant it (Highland Trail Race next year, BearBones 200 this year maybe). Otherwise rigid and 29+ up front.

Sent them to TF, as they were fucked. They had no oil in (despite me having re-oiled them a few times) and the air-shaft had a nick in it, so the air chamber was bollocksed.
My full-susser hasn't been a problem, but then it's only done < 400 miles since new.
