“Crown Steerer
Lower TALAS assembly
Stanchions”
I thought the CSU was one piece (comprising steerer, crown and stantions)
Either way how do you knacker the crown or steerer? Cable rub on the crown? Crash into something and your wheel doesnt give? You need to change the steerer standard?
“the rear shock which you cannot do yourself”
You can do at least the air sleeve/shaft/main seals yourself
With Rockshox you CAN service it all yourself, or at least the manual for my monarch appears to include everything (Ive yet to do so). It suggests using air instead of nitorgen if you dont happen to have the correct nitrogen filling equipment ..
“which forks have the longest service interval”
Maybe* shimano, bontrager, kona, salsa, on-one, niner, exotic, superstar, nukeproof, etc etc ..
Or did you mean suspension forks?
Marzocchi 3 year interval?
*guessing carbon rigid forks probably want inspecting all the time? though technically Id guess you’re supposed to inpect all of your bike?
“15 hrs is just ridiculous even if it is only a 10 minute job.
High performance motorbike shocks (Ohlins) have a service interval of
Racing: Every 10-20 hours of operation”
eh?
if you’re going to equate things, then regular street use would be like road commuting on a MTB?
