The TFTuned site says £139 +pp not £160
Eh? How are you getting the forks to him? Plus you'll want the package insured. Then theres the '+PP' back hence reasonable to assume 20quid extra all in for both ways no? It aint rocketscience!

To PUSH or not?

See what you mean, but then the P+P will also add to the standard service cost. Haven't had this done to mine, but seriously considering it given the positive comments on the MTBR forum.

If you get the forks Pushed, you also get them fully serviced at the same time, which with TFT means they replace all the seals, fluids, various valves, resized bushings if needed etc. No, they're not cheap, but they're incredibly professional and efficient. Stuff gets done when they say it will and they even phone you while they're working on your fork to tell you exactly what they're doing to it etc.
I pretty much do all my own servicing, maintenance etc on my bikes, but I'm quite happy to use TFT for anything beyond a basic oil and seal change on forks. They won't, btw, simply supply the PUSH Industries parts, there's somemachining involved I think and, pretty reasonably, they want to make sure stuff is properly installed on a fully serviced fork.
And if it's too expensive for you, don't do it, simple

re P&P.
Using Royal Mail for a package of the weight and value of my set of Pikes I was quoted something like £25, one way. I ran TF on Monday morning at 9.30, they arranged for them to be collected and insured with a courier. He came at 3.30, and the forks were back with me on Wednesday at 10.30, again by insured courier. Total cost for both journeys was £20. I thought that was good value.

I had some old sids serviced, not pushed or anything. The difference was amazing. Ive also owned a gt dhi ( oh how i miss thee!) which had had the fox rear shock, and 888's set up with different oil weights etc by mojo. The suspension was the best I've ever ridden without a question. Far better than standard 888's and shock.
So if you are paying 100 pounds or so to get them serviced, and you intend to keep the foks for a while, i think it is definitely worth the extra money.

How's it all work then.
I'm on the work pc and we can't get all the links like youtube.
Can you push coil pikes or is it just air.
I'm going to send them off to TFT because they need a service and a new spring, I'm 13 1/2 stone and I'm still riding with the one it came with.Posted 3 years ago # -
I believe the PUSH system is fited to the damping mechanisms, not the spring, so both coil and air Rebas/Revs/Pikes can be "PUSH'd"

Tim "Ronseal" Flooks,....
Does exactly what they claim, stuff gets picked up when they say they will, I get it back when they tell me it will be back. Works every time for me. Pushed stuff works for me, loads more control. Worth a bit more on a regular service..

Madness. I sent a set of Fox forks in the post today for less than 8 quid.
