So ill be buggered if i cant get the air can off my monarch. So im going to have to fork out for a service. Whos the best / quickest these days?
*insert flood/insurance joke here*
Oh come on guys you lot must be over flowing with suggestions
TFT seems the obvious choice to me.
This is the only time you'll ever hear me recommend* Flo-tec
*not an actual recommendation, just go to TF
If you're having trouble unscrewing the can I bought a large boa strap wrench thing when mine was stuck. Worked a treat when nothing else would.
Southcoast suspension, great guy.
Can you reassemble and ride meanwhile if you get a place in a couple of weeks?
Last time I checked TFT was 2-3 weeks before they had a slot....
Tftuned. Always a fantastic service.
never failed to undo an aircan using a marigold or innnertube wrapped round it for grip.
So far marigold inner tubes and strap wrench have failed.
Works but seems to be loosing air over the week
Can second grant at southcoast suspension. Good rates and service.
Havent used him yet but Dave @ rsf suspension specialist in Plymouth seems to be the go to for most riders in Devon and Cornwall.
Only heard good things from everyone who mentions him. Takes posted work.
I'll second Dave at RSF Suspension,
great service and work.
If it's loosing air then it may be the valve, remove it and fit one out of an old inner tube to see if that cures the problem
A 3rd shout for Dave from RSF, great service [url=
He also replaces crowns
Have you tried removing the valve and putting a few CCs of fork oil in the air chamber? That may help worn seals as an emergency fix while you decide what to do.
Rick @ Slick n Slide, Macclesfield, has sorted me out on more than one occasion. Turn around is 2-3 days usually.
I had this with my monarch plus, one of the volume bands had blocked the air transfer port so when you let the air out of the shock the outer sleeve stayed pressurised. The air can sleeve would turn with a bit of grunt, but won't slide down. I got Jake at Sprung to do it, it took 20 minutes of him and Sam hanging off it in the end.
J tech have always been good when I've used them and often have less of a wait compared to some of the others.
