Dear all, I am very new to all this, although I have had a road bike for a while and pretty much know what all the nuts and bolts do there. However, I have just bought a second hand Speciailized Hard Rock. It is a 2003 model and I was attracted to it because I have heard of Specialized and their road stuff is pretty good, and the guy selling had lots of service records from his LBS with bills for chains, cassettes, bottom brackets and all sorts. I've tried it out and it rides well, lighter than I thought it would be, and lots of fun on the rough stuff. However, the front suspension forks, labelled as 'RST Capa', don't seem very springy.

In fact, when I put all my body weight on them they don't move at all, and on the trail I can't feel them move. I guess I might have to strip them down and have a little look, as this is the one item not mentioned on any of the service bills. How easy or difficult is this?

Where can I get advice? Could they be broken beyond repair, and if so, what should I replace them with? Any advice would be most welcome. It could be a few things. Make sure there are springs inside.

Its not unknown for some people to remove them and replace them with elastomers that seize up after about 5 minutes, making the fork totally rigid. If the forks havent been serviced (capa are an old model, about 2003) then they might simply need a good clean and service. Take the springs out and have a look.

If theyre rusted then replace them. A lot of RST springs are interchangable so you wont have any trouble finding a set.

Buy some oil too. Your lbs wil be able to tll you which wieght you need and all. High quality barbecue units eh? I wonder if I could fit them to the Hard Rock instead of the forks?

Where would I put the wheel? Maybe the barbecue unit comes with a wheel or three? More seriously, thanks a lot for the advice, particularly supersonic for the advice on how to disassemble these forks. I think I'll have a go myself as money's a bit tight around here at the moment (although I guess it's that way with everyone right now). Anyone else had any experience with disassembly of this kind of fork, or reassembly?

I am kind of disappointed that a reputable outfit like Specialized would fit something which is well known to be a pretty poor quality item, but I guess it's a competitive market, and every penny saved counts.
