Or first signs that I'm soon to be needing new ones? You see the lines on the fork tube?
you're fine sir. Lots of miles left in that one. When you can rub a finger on the fork tube and get oil on your finger you might want to consider replacing them.
Agree, I have seen them at 30k miles look like that and still not leaking... wipe them clean with a good degreaser... when you see fluid leaking down them or residual oil staying on them then do seals..
You don't change a dry baby cause you see a fart stain in his diaper do you?
Yea, well I've got 37K of riding like I stole her. You sissys need to stop cleaning and looking your bikes over and ride them
If it does start leaking give this a go first.

We have those sitting on our counters here at work and I can honestly say I've never sold a set. Do they actually work?

I made my own sealmates out of a plastic water bottle. They did the trick for me. It worked so good I bought the sealmate tool the next time I saw it hanging in a shop to continue routine cleaning intervals.??? My forks did stop leaking//seaping.Took a while to eventually wipe all the oil residue off the fork.My question now is there anyway to verify the oil level in the fork without removing it from the bike????
