Hi folks
Had some excellent advice here before, hoping to get some more.
I have a rockshox tora front fork and it just does not want to go above about half its travel offroad (its a coil, 100mm). However, when its pushed down with extreme force standing still, it will get to about its max limit, but nowhere near this limit on real rides.
Got some good advice from the lbs, who suggest spraying oil onto the fork in the hope of loosening things up, bar that they suggest an outside service estimated at £60 and no doubt I will be without a bike for weeks (it took about 4 last time I had to return it under warranty).
I do not doubt I had good advice from my lbs, but wonder if I may be better off offsetting the service charge against another fork. What do you folks think?, persevere with the boneshaking or get a better fork?
Or is it practical to assume I have to shell out once in a while for a service for my current fork ?(even though I have been slightly underwelmed by the forks since I got them)
Checking the forks myself is out of the question with my expertise, so welcome any advice you can give.
