I do not know how to tell you the make & model of the forks on my Specialized Rockhopper Comp FS bike. It has two shocks, rubber coils on top, no air opening visable, a black plastic or rubber cap on top held in tightly (apparently) by a bolt cinching a circle around the top holding the forks on. There is a circular sticker on the right side fork which says, verbatim: Specialized Future FS Shock Sport (made in USA) Does that provide enough information for you to help me? Basically they bottom out with the slightest pressure. I was wondering how to rebuild or even get the parts. What is inside? Foam? Spring? Rubber? Piston? Air?

Foam? Spring? Rubber? Piston? Air? Your bike is a goner.Not worth repairing. Specialized forks are all made of high tension cold pressed aluminum alloy spring steel and are not repairable.You can replace the entire front fork assembly, including the handlebars but that will cost you more than a new bike. Best to put it up for sale and hope the new prospective owner doesn't notice the two broken springs.You might even part it out on Ebay if you need to make up the cost.
