Self service or send them off? Leaking seals on the air chamber side.

Self service in the first instance, send them off if you can't sort it. They're not particularly hard to service although I have never changed a seal on them. May just be a bit of grit.

Clamp fork upright, undo retaining bolts on lowers, stick a socket on and give a little clout with a rubber mallet, pop the lowers off, clean and grease the seals with some cristo lube or similar, change oil, bobs a good'un.

Surely you've been doing this every 6 months or so anyway, the seal part at least?

As above.
Good prices, basic service £29 IIRC. Seals extra but a whole rebuild with bushes cost was less than a service at Mojo etc.

Was thinking of sending them to Pace, £79 inc return carriage, only £4 more than Tim of Fork English.
