Bought a set of used Cone Valve Forks back in Oktober 2018.
According to the previous Owner its a 2015 Fork.
After 5 hours it starts leaking on the Seal Rings so i bring it to a WP Service Center to rebuilt.
Today as i pick up my forks at the Dealer he told me its not a CV Fork it has not the Cone Valve inside and he means its an 2012 or 2013 Model ?????
Here some pictures
Thanks for any advice

Some prefer that. Should not be to expensive to covert back to cone Valve system. For sure interesting to ride both and compare!
1 set was CV the other had a normal mid valve installed.
The standard mid set worked best ..However at that time I did not know how to set up CV as well as a std mid & CV parts were more difficult to come by then.
Unless the guy that serviced yours completely dissembled cart rod its hard to tell the difference visually from the outside. So to say its not a cone valve he must of removed the cart rod when changing inner chamber oil.
& seen the std mid.
However a CV feels different to me than a std mid when bleeding/ stroking rod during assembly .
Your wear rings are missing from the seal case. you don't want the fork guards to rub them as those still look in good shape
I would have to dissemble & have a look. This is the only way to know for sure. Proper tools will be needed
Here’s a video explaining what it’s in the fork and Trax shock:
