Review on BUCKLOS Air Suspension MTB Fork - 120Mm Travel, Rebound Adjustment, Straight/Tapered Tube, QR 9Mm, Manual/Remote Lockout For XC & AM Mountain Bikes - Ultralight, Available In 26/27.5/29 Sizes by Shane Minter

Internal bushings fail quickly

This fork was ridden lightly for around 6 months. Wipers/seals were always kept clean and free of dirt. One day I noticed the coating being rubbed off the lower front part of the stanchion leg. Concerned, I removed the lower legs to find that the internal bushings are nothing more than cheap plastic. Over time they started to deform and ruin the stanchion which in turn ruins the ability of the wiper/seal to keep dirt out. Kicking myself for not paying a little more for a name brand which has better parts and most importantly can actually be serviced and has the option to buy replacements parts. This fork is now headed for the trash bin.
