[#2139555]

I was looking for a replacement shock for my Iron Horse Yakuza Kumucho (it takes an uncommon 9" x 2.75" shock) and came across the Bike Wagon shop online. Anyway, they have a deal on a RS Rev Team 140mm 1.5-in Suspension Fork for $285 (plus postage). See [url= http://www.bikewagon.com/Forks-Headsets-Suspension/Suspension-Forks/26-Forks/Rock-Shox-Revelation-p8796265.html ]here[/url].

Anyone have any idea how much this would come to once taxes, duty, handling charges etc added on? I suspect once you add all that stuff in (on top of the warranty issue) it wont be worth the hassle.

Just thought it would go well with a Ragley mmmBop which are still available on CRC at a good price in 16" Green (plus extra 10% off).

Cheers

Worse-case double the price, if thats still ok, you'll be fine.

hmm. Just checked back to ebay (which is how i ended up on their website). They're quoting about £45 for postage on forks. Probably not a goer then.

Add on the carriage and then work on 30% for duties.

Not that it matters now, but I assume the delivery company's handling charge is only added on at the end of the equation. Can anyone confirm this?
