I have already asked for some help for this problem before. Here is the deal... I have some wp open Chamber forks that are a little bit harsh. This fork used to be plush and since becoming harsh I have already replaced the bushings (prox) and did not improved that much. Then replaced the seals with skf (only oil seals, not dust seal), polished the stanchions and used belray oil and improved. I thought they were good then but I have tested similar forks and mine are not stiction free as other similar units
Since then I have lubed the seals with stanchions grease from the mtb and it does not seems to improve. I have no idea what else can be, and please do not suggest the wheel is not properly installed.
Only I can think of is the old oil which was completely brown (might have been rust from the springs) have damaged the inner surface of the outer tubes where the bushings slide.
I will polish them... Any ideas what else can be? Thanks guys!

Back when I had Sky Force Racing I revalved a riders suspension and since he was sponsored by BelRay he supplied the fluids. We went testing at Budds Creek and he was happy but I knew it should be a little better. We went back to the box van and I drained and put in the Spectro. He went back out and it worked tons better so much so that when he came off the track he said if he had not seen what I had done he never would have believed how much better just the fluids could make it.
