A friend down sarf (Sandhurst) has asked me for a recommendation for someone to service his RockShox rear shock and Reba forks. Bike not been used in a while and apparently not holding pressure…

Anyway, if any of you good folk have used someone you’d vouch for it would be good to hear about it. Thanks kindly.

Liam at Surrey Hills Suspension is my recommendation.

TfTuned always faultless for me.

Trying JTech off recommendations. Forks going in next week. If service is as good as he has been to speak to on the phone it bodes really well!

DIY, Sprung or TFT, in that order.

Jtech and Sprung for me, since Polished have stopped doing suspension. Both really good, Jtech probably better for upgrades and that.

TF Tuned do good work but I got fed up of them not listening to me, I think they assume everyone but them is an idiot tbf.

Just got both a fork and a shock back today from TFTuned.

Customer service and some advice i wanted/needed was excellent.
All returned the.extday.

Obvs not ridden yet.
But never had a problem when they had done services previously.

Ta guys. I’ve passed the info on for now. He’s not technical and won’t appreciate fine tuning, just want them to go up and down and not leak.

Another vote for JTech.
They did a great job getting a 36 the way I wanted it and saved me money by advising against a new damper. Fitted an Andreani piston to my old damper instead.
TF seem to have gone off the boil a bit.
Tried Sprung and wasn't impressed.

Does anybody service a charger 2.1 damper on its own, I can do the rest of the forks myself, just wondering if it would be significantly cheaper.

I’ve used TFTuned for years and never been disappointed with their work.

Sprung at FOD are supposed to be pretty good as well
