Its the 1st time i have had to get a shock serviced.
who is the best and what should i expect to pay??
its a DHX 5.0 air off of a nomad
thanks shaun
Check out the TF Tuned site
just had a look thanks.
£100 for a service seems very deer. is it worth it or can i do it my self?
also is it worth spending the extra £40 getting it pushed
Not tried pushed but their standard service is great. Job done when it was meant to be and returned promptly.

TF Tuned don't service DHX air shocks, do they?
Mojo service them for £100. It's really easy to do an air sleeve service if that's all that's needed.
its leaking oil and losing air quite quickly.
tft do service DHX air shocks

You can do a basic aircan service and replace the seals yourself, but to recharge the (Nitrogen?) damper, it's a specialist job
P.S. A 'deer' is an animal with antlers, when something is expensive, it's 'dear' 🙂
My understanding was that there isn't a nitrogen chare behind the floating piston on a DHX with a boost valve (like the 5.0) because you can adjust the pressure behind the piston with a shock pump. In theory, you can service this yourself but bleeding it and getting the small parts might be tricky.

might help
thanks onzadog ill get a look at them tonight
Just off the phone with the guys at mojo. in as many word they told me to buy a seal kit and do it my self. it will be just as good
let me know how it goes. I've read the guid I linked to but not tried one yet. I spent money getting mine pushed before I found the instructions.
There is an "expert" on the forum that could do it for you! 😉
Mojo or TF are very good.
onzadog. had a look at the pics and its for a coil shock. im hoping the internals are the same as the air. i will call mojo again and ask them if they will chuck some instructions in with the seal kit when i get it next week.
many thanks will let you know how it goes.
