I've killed my Rev 426's, worn them away down to the aluminium 🙁 Perhaps, as the LBS said, I should reconsider my service intervals. So I promise that the next pair I get WILL be serviced more than once every two years.

Q1- can I get new (2008 model)uppers ?
Q2- would it be better to buy new?

Prices will obviously play a big part here. Buying S/H sort of worries me, there may be similar wear problems to mine….

what length steerer could you handle minimum?

*edit… i was never confused

220mm steerer needed- I'm a big bloke.

What about some sort of older coil sprung Marzocchis? You dont need to service them ever.

59- I'm really with you on that one. I have a pair that have been going strong since 2002!

Shame you need 220…
my pooh brown 05 (not ragged) dual airs are up for grabs.

Why not buy new steerer and stantions? TFT will help.

I have some for sale (2007 426 coils), but they are 190mm steerer
