Yes, I have used them and it did work for me.

I am sure you have read through the information about the Seal Mate and what it does. In my case, it was just a slight seep. I slid the Seal Mate between the fork tube and seal and worked it around the seal as it says to do in the instructions. It took care of the issue. So there must have been something between the seal and the tube that was pushed out of the seal area with the Seal Mate.

I can't say that it will work for every situation but it worked for me. It is an inexpensive way to correct an otherwise expensive and lengthy maintenance operation, i.e. seal replacement.

Try it, it can't hurt and it just may take care of a leaking seal.

having seen a few people on youtube claiming pretty high success rates, just yesterday i decided to make my own and give it a try. i haven't put any miles on it yet because there is other stuff to do on this bike, but when bouncing it in the driveway it is coming up dry so i am keeping my fingers crossed.

I have one front seal that is leaving a fine film of oil on the fork. I don't think it will pass inspection like that in North Carolina.

I have attempted many tasks on bikes, but the spring removal gives me some pause, as there is a real potential for injury. (Only one place will work on it around here, and they are booked out until June.)

Therefore, I have high hopes for this gizmo. Was hoping someone besides the marketers could speak for it.

been making them for decades. they work most of the time if its just dirt keeping the seal lip from the fork tube.

I made my own out of the side of an oil bottle, and it worked for me.

They will often fix minor seepage leaks. I used to make them out of 35mm film negatives, because I had those sitting around all the time...but not anymore.

I used the seal mate today, and I’m happy to report it fixed my problem.
