For those of you not familiar with Enduro seals, a quick search of the MTBR forums will be an education. If you want some light reading...

Can you post some pictures of the installation sequence when you replace your seals?

Do we need them?

..I mean I can understand that Fox fork owners want to change seals but WB? I have had nada zipp leakage or dust coming in on my BW 0.8.
Anyone had any problems with their WB:s?

Sure, although it's going to be a little while as I've got a full plate.

I seem to recall there being install photos on Enduro's site, but I'm too lazy to double check right at the moment.

Do we need them?

Honestly? Yeah. Every fork I have owned has benefitted from installing these wipers (with the exception of some '96 Judy lowers which were incompatible).

I've installed them on a '99 Judy, a '01 X-Vert and Z4, and in each case I've seen an impressive reduction/elimination of contaminents and in some cases water. They're very precise wipers. I don't know if White Brothers has been using something different in the past two years, but my CX-1 can stand the upgrade.

BTW, these seals have nothing to do with air leakage, if that's what you were suggesting.

I have this Judy Race converted to Total Air Englunds dampers for weight reduction, the fork is sub-1300g with a long steerer. I was advised to also have the White Brothers seals/or wipers installed, as they were supposed to be the best. That's some years ago, though.

If the Enduro's are so much better, I wonder if WB themselves could be persuaded to install them when overhauling a fork for us?

That would be nice, but they are in fact very easy to install at home during routine fork maintenance.

White Brothers new OEM wipers will be Enduros.

White Brothers new OEM wipers will be Enduros.

Now ^THAT^ is a very smart move. I'm surprised a fork company hasn't done this sooner.
