Not had anything serviced, but just bought some sektors from simon (LoCo). Sound chap.

Marko, ok cool I'll have a work out and see what we can do.
Edit, Hora I was serious about the syringe, it wasn't some random mic taking

Loco I and I know a few other lads would definately be interested in an evening class for sure all of us pretty local to you too, Aberdare/Neath/Swansea Valley/Beacons
It would be a good way for you to introduce us to the benefits of fork servicing - plus I am sure you would get sure fire loyalty to a local lad

Valley, you know I'm not 'local'
but have been in the valleys quite a few years now and support the reds in the rugby.Let me see when I've got a bit of time free, in the meantime if you have a few mates that are interested get numbers and mail me, should be able to do something next month sometime, so people could bring forks and beer...
yeah! second page!

Scottegg I did. The issue was I didn't have the correct impliment to inject the new oil in - had to use a large glass cooking measuring jug

Loco that would be awesome
ok I'll find a motley crew and let you know, you many folk do you think would be ok 5-7???
beer and forks = bomber time
as for "local" your a local trader that's all that matters plus we like supporting the "little" guys (in comparison to the "big" guys if you follow me)
Posted 1 year ago # -
No problems, I reckon 8 max per visit would be ok. If you can let me know numbers and what forks people want to know about/are bringing would be good.

ok magic, I'll ask some fellas, we've probably got a mix of Fox/RS mainly 32's mix of Talas/Floats/Revs off the top of my head
I'll email you later and we can go from there

I would be up for this. I am based in Abergavenny.

TF Tuned check the bushings and re size if needed. Whats all this about? Is it worth the extra cost?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Update- fork servicing place rang me up and said 'do you know you had the wrong/thicker float oil in your damper leg'?
Yes, that was me the night before a ride after accidently emptying the bloody stuff out and looking for a substitute..
So hitting a square edged rock really did cause them to stiffen- chuck me over the bars
Posted 1 year ago # -
These guys?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Blimey you must have spent a fortune on float fluid to fill the damper leg
Edit I'd check the details of what a 'service' includes and the costs
Posted 1 year ago # -
I'm reasonably intelligent however I have zero patience.
Glass Kitchen measuring jug? Wrong oil? Incredible.
What sir requires is a measuring cylinder.
Available from all good Internets for pennies. Along with fork oil (correct grade).
If you are going to do a job, it pays to work out what you need before you're washing the Kitchen floor with suspension oil.

I've just spat toast all over my laptop. Some people REALLY SHOULD just stump up the cash and get it done properly!

I even added a dab in extra and ended up dropping the psi on the trail trying to compensate for the lack of sag. Well they've seen a professional now for 75quid all in
I also used a claw hammer to stop the damper spindle from spinning when I was trying to do em. Backup.
Fancy me servicing your car peterpoddy?

Loco - shock packaged, booking form completed - I'll be popping it in the post tomorrow lunchtime for you.
CheersPosted 1 year ago # -
Yoshi, ok thanks, will try and get it back to you for the weekend!

LoCo,
Is it possible to get fork travel lengthened? I have Fox 120 RL, they probably could do with a service, along with my rear shock. I have heard somewhere that all it takes to get 130mm out of them simply by removing a spacer in the fork.
Is this possible? and could you do it as part of the service?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Jesus that Flotec website needs someone who can design working on it. Proper headache.
And £20 extra for wiper seals?! Surely that should be in the cost of the servicing.
So £70.....
Simon Loco is £59.99 all in, and he's done a lot of kit for me, all of it performed like new when coming back.
Awesome.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Ta, Rickon.
Turtle, yes I can lengthen them if the internals allow it some 120 RLs have a spacer which when removed allows extension to 130mm, however some don't and have a shorter damper cart too.
This would be covered by the cost of a full service.
