My headshok is dying and needs some TLC. Thumbprint look expensive compared to getting forks done at Tim Flooks who doesn't do cannondales. Anyone had any experience with Noah's Ark or Stendec?
Seriously considering switching to a normal fork but estimate to do that I need to pay £100 for a headset and then buy the forks! Any helpful advice greatly appreciated.

I've had loads of 'Dale forks and all were fine but, like ANY fork, they do need a service occasionally. AND, as you've found out, it's not cheap. I've just paid £200 to get my Pace forks done (needed a new steerer and top brace too though). Look around at other forks but you'll be hard pressed to find a fork as light as your dale one and it's all tucked out of the way so is less prone to the crud that other forks suffer with. Add it up and stick with the Cannondale. You'll probably have to send it off somewhere but a hell of a lot of forks are NOT done in your local bike shop !

Thanks Slider - I think I'll give the headshok the benefit of the doubt. Where did you get yours serviced?

Thanks

Why do you need to spend £100 on a reducer headset?

Though I'd happily recommend Tony's service, I've used him to service my lefty
