I installed monotubes in my fork about 1,000 miles ago. When I did I installed new seal, bushings, 6mm screws, etc. I am thinking of disassembling to change preload. I am thinking I can reuse the above parts but wanted to get some feedback. Thanks!

I wouldn't. Seals and all that other stuff isn't expensive, just buy new. It's worth the peace of mind to me...


I just installed the legend front kit, drove the seals in, then realized that the alignment cup shifted in the lower leg. I had to break them apart and I reused those seals only because they were brand new and had no wear on them.

If you have to pop the seals loose,definitely put new ones back in.Other parts you can reuse.

That's a good approach.
