How do i measure my shocks?
My rock shox have a bad seal and the lockout isnt working, so i am thinking about getting a new fork instead of repairing it but dont know how to measure mine so i can get the same size etc.

At first I thought the title said, How do i measure my socks?
What's the bike and model of fork? It's going to be easier to tell what the travel is if we know what the fork is.

So it's anywhere between 80 and 120mm.
Most likely 80mm or 100mm.....
I would consider getting it repaired. The sid is a very high end fork.

If you take it to a lbs, they should be able to get the parts to fix it, and fix it there. So depending on how busy the shop is it could be anywhere at most from 1-2 weeks.

When I had suspension, if I needed work on the suspension fork, and parts were in stock, it would be done in around an hour. Otherwise, next day.
