    Those are the 80g forks. The seals are 37x49x8/9.5 that is 37mm ID x 49mmOD x 8mm cup / 9.5mm with lip height. I just purchased a pair of BM seals from starcycle.com for $7.23. I also read a great tip from another member, for taking the forks apart. If you would like a step by step, please let me know.

      Fork inflation

      Hi Lorsien,
      the forks have very little air space inside them and only need low pressure. From memory, between zero and 27psi according to bike load and how hard you want it to ride.
      Giving them a shot of air from the tire chuck on your compressor will more than likely pump them way too high.
      To avoid possibly blowing the fork seals, take 'em up slow and easy with a bicycle pump.
