If I had a set of forks re-sprung and valved and refreshed and then they have been sitting in storage in my closet for a couple years do they need to be opened up and checked? They haven't been used or even mounted on the bike since they were serviced and my suspension guy told me they should be good to go, and someone else told me they should be opened up and serviced again? (The seals are not leaking) Is there any truth to this?
Ok cool, that's what I figured. I couldn't see any reason why they would deteriorate from just sitting in the closet, minus maybe the fork seals. I was actually trying to sell them and a potential buyer told me that he was going to have to have them opened up and gone through since they had been sitting, so maybe he was just trying to use that as a negotiation tool with me. (Actually, he said his suspension guy said it needed to be done, where as my suspension guy said it was fine, so maybe his suspension guy was just trying to drum up business, who knows)
