Repairing Rusted Seized RST Gila T5 Forks/Shocks
Fahrräder, Tests, online, Rezensionen, Bewertungen
The RST Gila T5 shocks on this Trek 4300 mountain bike frame were frozen solid. There was some rust on them. I took them apart, cleaned them, removed most of the rust, lubed them, and put them back together and got them working again.

Standing Ovation and Hats off to you RJ!!! I couldn't take my eyes off this video...

I have to say, you are about the only guy who bothers to repair these kind of forks. Most just toss them.
I take it you have a good business in fixing up bikes and selling them for a profit.
I just don't know if I would have your patience,lol.
Its really good to see someone fixing these up as now folks have somewhere to go if they choose to fix their bike, and it saves bikes from going to the dump.
I have seen some nice bikes just get tossed over the most trivial things. -
Any shotgun wire bore barrel cleaner, will help with the task of cleaning the inside fork's.

Rst # rusty suspension technology lol

I found a merida matts with hydraulic discs front and rear after confirming with the police it wasn't stolen but the forks are rusted real bad any tips on cleaning and un seizing they have a lock out lever too so am unsure as they are fully adjustable

This video is gold! Have a pair of bikes, Trek 2005 3700 and a 2005 Gary Fischer, both have surface rust on the pistons but work fine. Still want to take them apart and clean and lube them up, 11 years old, it's time! Need a pair of top boots, mine are dried and split. Both bikes are in great shape overall except for the fork pistons.
Thanks to this video there's no guess work now when I take these apart. I purchased these bikes new and had them in storage for a few years, should have packed them in grease, Florida is the rust capitol of the country.
Thanks for this video, looks like a fun job. -
Thanks for the video. I've recently been given a project bike and the forks are seized solid, hopefully this vid will help :-)
10 out of 10 for not editing out the bits when things didn't go right first time, it gives us an insight into what may happen. Anyways, I've hit you with a LIKE and a SUBSCRIPTION :-D -
thanks!

very helpful video, good job.

I cant remove the orange part of the fork, its been stock any tips?
-
Another terrific video. I am buying a set of RST Mozo Pros and will save this video for when I need to service them. You get full marks for perseverance on this project. Just out of curiousity, what do you do with the bikes after you repair them? I have seen what seem like dozens of bikes go through your shop.

Very nice instruction video - are the instructions valid for a RST Gila T4 too? Bought a second hand bike yesterday and I've never had a bike with suspension fork before....
-
Great Video (and I saw a lot of shit on youtube!)
I'm on a RST Neon Lockout... from outside it looked nice, but one seal was broken,
it's totally frozen.
I was able to losen the lower bolts and got the bars out for ~4cm with a plastic hammer but not more.....
What can I do ? Tried wd-40 and vinegar from top and bottom _! -
Is it ok to use white spirit for all the metal pieces ?
-
9:57 Holy f**kin sh*t!

do you have any shocks that are good that you don't want
