How to service Rockshox Tora forks (parts needed)?

[esuhl]

I have a B'Twin (Decathlon own-brand) Rockrider 8.1 mountain bike from 2010. It came with Rockshox Tora forks and it's about time I gave them their first service!

I found this very helpful video on YouTube outlining the procedure:

But... there seem to be several different models of Rockshox Tora forks. The video shows ones with compressed air, but I think my forks are a cheaper model with a spring instead.

All I want to know is what "service kit" I'll need (I want to replace all the O-rings, sponges, dust seals, etc.). Is there any way I can identify the model I have to find the appropriate service kit?

Many thanks in advance!

SRAM own rockshox and there is plenty of technical info on their website. I suggest you look there

You might have difficulty sourcing a service kit for a 2010 Tora fork. Tftuned will service it for you but as it was not an expensive fork, the service cost is probably more than it is worth. Here is a link to the 2011 Tora service manual on my Dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/s/dunkul8h66475ey/2011-Tora-Technical-Manual.pdf?dl=0 - I will remove it after a weeks or so. Your fork should have the model number on it, but the critical identifier is the stanchion diameter.

Amazing! Thanks for that -- I've downloaded the PDF now.

I did wonder whether spare parts would still be available... I couldn't find much relevant information on the SRAM website.

I'll probably buy another suspension fork. But in the meantime I'll try to service the fork without replacing any parts. I haven't seen inside suspension forks before, so probably best my first attempt at a service is on some old ones I don't care about too much!

Thanks again!
