Hi,

I’ve got a set of Pace RC39 forks on my bike, but after a wet ride from Blair Atholl to Aviemore where they basically stopped working, the right stanchion is worn through th gold goating to the metal and I’ve just dismantled them to find the bushings have some rust on them and water in the bottom of the legs.

Anyone know if this sounds recoverable? Is it worth spending the £70-odd on a service or is that going to be money down the drain.

I’m not too sure you would be able to get away with just a service, as it sounds like you’ll also need to replace the crown/steerer/upper at a minimum, which won’t be cheap. Might be worth posting some pictures up of the damage.

Give Tim at Fork English a call – 07879051461, 01751 476 815
