I'm reasonable with a spanner and have a new spring to swap into a set of coil Lyriks. But, we're leaving to drive to Exmoor at earlier o'clock tomorrow and I dont have much time tonight.
Will trying to do this in 30 minutes end in tears, a hunt for ball bearings on the shed floor and a cancelled biking trip, or is it that straightforward?
It just takes a few minutes,there is a guide on Tf tuned's website.

I didnt take my forks off to do mine, just put it in the workstand and turned it so forks were levelish, lube oil stays in the legs then. However, if forks not been serviced for a while new oil will make a nice difference.
Thanks. I've also got some headset bearings to swap, so was going to remove the forks. Only 2 weeks old, so no new oil needed, just a slap of grease hopefullly.
Having said that, I'm sort of interested to see how much oil they came with....
Might buy a M4 front brake on the way home from work, reckon I can whack that on in an extra 10 mins too...
....surprised to find no oil lubing the lowers on the spring side.
It's a 10-15 minute job if that.
And there should be oil in both lowers.. always.
See the other post on here right now about oil in coil Totem lowers.
its one socket needed and takes a minute
Yep, very easy, 24mm and 5mm tools, grease and A LOT of debate about whether lubing oil is needed in the lowers.
Not sure why the spring came with a circlip though?
