I couldn't seem to find the serial number of the fork. Where is it normally be located on the form? I want to get some tech support from Rockshox to address the leak, but they are asking for the serial number of the fork even though I told them I bought the bike in late 2003.

I also have been looking for a late model fork (2010, 2011 fox), but they are have 15mm axle, but I believe my bike has 9mm (they dont make 15mm axle bike 10 yrs ago)? My only option is to replace the hub or wheel that has 15mm QR in order to be able to use any late model fork that can work with 15mm axle?

BTW, are there any good deals on tires? My tires are worn out and slippery on hard sandy surface at turns. I like the continental trial king tires, but they are expensive.
