Hello thank you for showing me that masterpiece of Restauration. ❤

[@AncientEnergyEyesOpen]

Excellent. I took my old zooms apart watching your video, and I think the manufacturer forgot the coils. Haha.

[@JV_BMX]

Thank you for this video, my friend's MTB needed to be restored, and you taught me how. Your channel is underrated man keep it up. 👍

[@terryhunter5592]

Brilliant! Very well filmed and edited. Great to see someone is encouraging restoration rather than throw away. Keep up the good work Polska.

[@lonerbikes]

Is glad to hear it , thx bro I try to improve my movies and skills all the time 😉

[@michaeljameslawrence2965]

Great video. I am going to try this on my zoom forks as I have most of the tools apart from the long screw driver bit

[@aluizioleandro2234]

Gostei, vou fazer o mesmo na minha bike (São Paulo-Brasil).

[@humboldtbibbity8769]

Amazing, you have encouraged me to restore a few shocks that are from 2001 ha. Thanks! Great video!

Thank you for the tutorial, i will do it with my fork

[@josuevalar6465]

This is great, it's exactly what I needed to get the idea of how to actually do it. The one thing is that I don't know where to get the tools or grease

[@jacktrian]

Thanks you for tutorial of the best for me. Do all zomm forks open the bolts using a 5 mm L key?

[@chadkline4268]

Should always turn a crescent wrench with the moving jaw on the inside of the turn. Why not use naval jelly to remove the rust, rather than an abrasive? With all of the shxt in the forks, maybe the fork seals were bad? Forks should be rebuildable. What a waste to throw it away a whole fork because you can't buy new fork seals. I'd rather rebuild a fork than buy a new one for $200. It is incredibly stupid if a fork cannot be left in the rain. Bikes are not for sunny days only.

[@MRsickcat84]

Will the stanchions safe for seals? Will it actually need replacement eventually?

Thank you very much, man.

I have similar zoom fork (even older and more primitive) whenever I make a turn my wheel makes contact with v-brakes for some reason! It's really wobbly too... dunno if there is a sense to do something with that

Amazing job. Those are probably feeling like new 👍😃🙂 8:55 what are the threaded rods for that are hanging out of the suspension inner stantions / pipes, and that bit that you slide up under the one?

[@TE_53349]

usually compression and rebound dampeners but in this case, they just look like long bolts to thread the lowers onto

My zoom masera has preload adjuster and that preload has stopped working when my bro fully turned it and broke it and now my suspension is kinda tight so how do i loose that spring without buying a new preload cap any idea?

I purchased a new Aventon Level E Bike in Mar 2022, after about 2 weeks the front fork makes a clunk sound when going over some bumps and it's pissing me off, it does not do this when it's locked out though, does anyone know what the issue is? Or even an upgrade fork the would fit this bike? Thanks John

[@hobbyelectronics3448]

Brother the issues is in your front shock absorber you should give it to restore oor should buy new ones

[@reni_2356]

can polishing paste prevent rusting in the rain?

[@lonerbikes]

If you use paste for aluminium, they prevent metal by thin coat, or you can use some wax after polishing

[@renrfag]

To improve the performance of the zoom fork, you need to throw it in the trash and install a rigid fork. The zoom fork does not provide shock absorption, it only enhances all the road irregularities due to the lack of damping.

[@RynaxAlien]

Zoom produces cheap steel garbage. There should be at least rubber covers on fork. I had to use so much force that fork bent, after a lot of beating and it freed up. Can I still bend back fork legs?

@@lonerbikes brother if you remove more dust from where you use abrasive sponge if you more scratch the suspension rood the remaining rust will left from fork and your suspension will work like brand new and works smoothly

It is just not worth efforts. It would be easier to find a scarp bike in better condition and transfer its fork.

Don't leave your bike outside - and clean it. Then you'll not end up with a fork like this.

50 euro can be for some suntour fork. this can cost up to 30euro. The 2 or 3h spend in refreshing this fork can cost a service shop at least 30 euro. But with doing the service yourself it is worth the experience one can get while doing this.
