No name rock shox questions
First of all thanks for any help. I realize that without pictures these questions could be hopeless.
I bought a used bike off of cl that has a rock shox fork on it, however the only sticker on the whole thing is a rock shox sticker. So I have no idea about what kind of fork this is. I will post pics when I get home tonight. My best description right now is that the lower tubes are gold anodized, it is only has disc brakes mounts, it is a 20mm thru front hub axle, and it is an air shock with the schraeder valve on one fork and the dampening knob on the other. The bottom of one fork has a spring rate adjuster and the other has another schraeder valve that I’m not sure of on the functionality.
The right fork is getting a lot of dirt build up on it, and it seems like I probably need to rebuild it. How do you rebuild air shocks? Do I just need to take it apart lube it up and replace the seals? Do I just use lube from Rock Shox?

Rock Shox has all the service info on their site in .pdf format. You could probably browse through the site to ID your fork too.
