My 2019 sektor got these scratches on them and I am worried they will damage the internals. Will they? And is there something I can do?

  1. Other than buying new uppers I don’t think there is much you can do.
    But at each time your fork dips those scratches past the seal it will bring a bit of oil back with it. And probably scratch the rubber seal. Both serviceable.

    They don’t look deep, id still be running them without worrying

    Maybe a Sharpie? 

  2. Main worry is the seal, just carefully sand it down to make sure it’s not sticking out.

    You’re just gonna have to lock them out so you run a soft tail (hard forks)! Nah, I’m no expert but unless they abrade the seals or are so deep they break the seal so oil leak out, these look superficial. I’d use some external fork anti stick (or whatever that stuff’s called these days) regularly just to keep them running as smooth as possible/minimise any minor friction that may cause wear over time?
