[#1902409]

Just fitted some USE SUBs to my Global, lovely piece of kit, but not made anymore ๐Ÿ™
These replaced some Pace RC36 Stealths on there - again lovely kit, but not made anymore.

So.....are there any UK manufacturers of suspension forks still going, or did that end when Pace sold the fork designs to DT Swiss?

Here's a pic of the USE SUBs.....

Am i correct in think in USE wisdom a complete strip down was required to change the rebound settings?

Work in progress i'd say.
Single leg forks still scare me!

Brake, but no rotor yet - I've seem to have lost my set of Torx heads in a recent house move ๐Ÿ˜ก

Haven't ridden them yet, just stripped them down and given them a clean. Very simple internals, and all you need is a 5mm allen key for a complete strip-down.

I have no manual - so not sure about changing rebound settings. I'm going to email USE to see if they can send me a manual. The air spring/damping unit is an Englund Cartridge, and very easy to service.

Going to borrow a torx set off a mate to sort the rotor, and go for a ride this evening.
