    how often do you have to tune up an xvalve?

    so i have a friend who is gonna put in a bulk order with AGD and i was thinking of getting some stuff too (we are in the UK so ordering form AGD isn't really a simple once a month thing). i can't really afford anything big tho so i can only get a select few small parts.

    i was wondering how often do i need to change the o-rings in my xvalve? would it be worth it getting the xvalve parts kit? or would i be better off getting a bunch or spare bumpers? or maybe even a set of lvl10 carriers (cos i got my mag 2nd hand and i didn't get the spare carriers... the lvl10 works fine rite now tho). or are there any other small spare parts you would suggest i get?

    once its broken in, you wont really need to replace anything if you oil it well. maybe the bumper, but thats really it.
    i'v had my x-valve since november(if i remember correctly) and i haven't had to do a thing to it; althought my bumper looks like its starting to break apart.

      Bumpers is definitely a good bulk-order item.

      Carriers? no. Carrier orings? Sure. But I say this, once I got my level 10 tuned in, I went a YEAR if not more without having to touch it.

            uuh, part #796 is the bumper. i know what that is and i've already added a bunch of them to the order. i was thinking of also adding some carrier orings too. basically anything that can wear out, cos i don't plan to be ordering anymore parts for maybe 5 more years (its great being a mag owner )
