Fox Podium Repairs & Custom Tuning
Fox Podium forks can also receive GRIP X2 damper servicing, stanchion scratch repair, custom damper tuning, air volume setup and complete-bike removal or refitting.
Fox Podium Damper Service
Fox Podium damper servicing for removable drop-in cartridges that are poorly performing through compression, rebound or lockout control. Worn or failed seals, damaged bladders or worn internal parts can cause these issues.
- Damper removed and inspected
- Damper stripped and cleaned
- Service seals and wear items replaced as required
- Fresh damper oil added
- Damper rebuilt and torqued to specification
- Damper vacuum-bled if possible
- Adjuster function checked
If the complete damper cartridge can be removed as one unit, it can be sent separately for servicing and custom tuning can be added at the same time. If not, damper servicing must be completed as part of a 100hr fork service.

Fox Podium Fork Scratch Repair
Fox Podium stanchion scratch repair for suitable damage to improve the sealing surface and reduce further seal damage.
- Damage assessed before repair
- Damaged area cleaned and prepared
- Scratch filled with epoxy
- Repair left to cure for 24 hours
- Once cured, epoxy smoothed and finished
- Stanchion sealing surface checked before use
General wear is usually not suitable for this repair, as the epoxy needs a defined scratch to bond to. We’ll assess the damage first and advise whether repair or stanchion replacement is the best option.

Fox Podium Steerer Tube Replacement
Fox Podium steerer tube replacement for forks where the existing steerer is too short. Bent or loose steerers require an in-house CSU assessment first.
- Fork inspected for damage before work begins
- Existing steerer removed
- Steerer bore cleaned and prepared
- Special retaining compound applied
- New steerer pressed into place
- Installation checked after assembly
- Steerer supplied uncut for final fitment
If you plan to send only the CSU for steerer replacement, please note that we also require the lower legs and axle. This allows us to check lower leg bushing alignment before and after assembly to make sure everything is correctly aligned.

Fox Podium Custom Damper Tuning
Removable drop-in Fox Podium damper cartridges can be custom tuned to suit rider weight, riding style, terrain and the level of support or comfort required.
- Customer setup and riding information reviewed
- Compression and rebound assessed
- Valving tuned to suit the rider and bike
- Damper fully serviced

Custom tuning is only available where the complete damper cartridge can be removed from the fork as one unit. If this is not possible, a complete upgraded damper provides a better platform for future tuning.
