Places to service Fox forks recommend? (alternatives to Mojo & TF)

Valley, you know I’m not ‘local’ 😯 but have been in the valleys quite a few years now and support the reds in the rugby.

Let me see when I’ve got a bit of time free, in the meantime if you have a few mates that are interested get numbers and mail me, should be able to do something next month sometime, so people could bring forks and beer…

yeah! second page!

Scottegg I did. The issue was I didn’t have the correct impliment to inject the new oil in – had to use a large glass cooking measuring jug

Loco that would be awesome 😀

ok I’ll find a motley crew and let you know, you many folk do you think would be ok 5-7???

beer and forks = bomber time 😯

as for “local” your a local trader that’s all that matters plus we like supporting the “little” guys (in comparison to the “big” guys if you follow me) 😉

No problems, I reckon 8 max per visit would be ok. If you can let me know numbers and what forks people want to know about/are bringing would be good.

ok magic, I’ll ask some fellas, we’ve probably got a mix of Fox/RS mainly 32’s mix of Talas/Floats/Revs off the top of my head 😀

I’ll email you later and we can go from there

I would be up for this. I am based in Abergavenny.

Sorted now- no need to post either. Ta guys 🙂

torques – email me and we’ll sort something out with LoCo 😀

TF Tuned check the bushings and re size if needed. Whats all this about? Is it worth the extra cost?

Update- fork servicing place rang me up and said ‘do you know you had the wrong/thicker float oil in your damper leg’?

Yes, that was me the night before a ride after accidently emptying the bloody stuff out and looking for a substitute..

So hitting a square edged rock really did cause them to stiffen- chuck me over the bars 😆

These guys?

Blimey you must have spent a fortune on float fluid to fill the damper leg 😀

Edit I’d check the details of what a ‘service’ includes and the costs 😉

I’m reasonably intelligent however I have zero patience.

Glass Kitchen measuring jug? Wrong oil? Incredible.

What sir requires is a measuring cylinder.

Available from all good Internets for pennies. Along with fork oil (correct grade).

If you are going to do a job, it pays to work out what you need before you’re washing the Kitchen floor with suspension oil.

Friday night fettling always means disaster doesnt it?

I offered him free syringes 😯 😀

haha don’t drink and fettle

loco me and my mates rp23 shox needs servicing, damping not working properly on both think they need more oil in and re gassing, mojo not that good anymore and expensive, how much would it be to service 2 including p&p? cheers, shaggy

Hi shag, 55 each plus postage for a full service.

ok cheers loco, can u send me a link to your website please, i’ll send the shocks end of week, cheers, shag.

There you go:

Cheers Simon

cheers simon, i’ll send them friday, whats the turn around? oh would u send me a free syringe too seen as tho hora dont want one!! 😀

48 hours, pop a not in with the forks about the syringe along with contact details 😀

Update- fork servicing place rang me up and said ‘do you know you had the wrong/thicker float oil in your damper leg’?

I’ve just spat toast all over my laptop. Some people REALLY SHOULD just stump up the cash and get it done properly!

I even added a dab in extra and ended up dropping the psi on the trail trying to compensate for the lack of sag. Well they’ve seen a professional now for 75quid all in

I also used a claw hammer to stop the damper spindle from spinning when I was trying to do em. Backup.

Fancy me servicing your car peterpoddy?

Loco – shock packaged, booking form completed – I’ll be popping it in the post tomorrow lunchtime for you.
Cheers

Yoshi, ok thanks, will try and get it back to you for the weekend!

LoCo,

Is it possible to get fork travel lengthened? I have Fox 120 RL, they probably could do with a service, along with my rear shock. I have heard somewhere that all it takes to get 130mm out of them simply by removing a spacer in the fork.

Is this possible? and could you do it as part of the service? 😕

Jesus that Flotec website needs someone who can design working on it. Proper headache.

And £20 extra for wiper seals?! Surely that should be in the cost of the servicing.

So £70…..

Simon Loco is £59.99 all in, and he’s done a lot of kit for me, all of it performed like new when coming back.

Awesome. 🙂

Ta, Rickon.

Turtle, yes I can lengthen them if the internals allow it some 120 RLs have a spacer which when removed allows extension to 130mm, however some don’t and have a shorter damper cart too.

This would be covered by the cost of a full service.

Hi Loco
Can you service Magura forks – specifically Durin Marathon 120’s?
Cheers

No don’t do Magura stuff at present.

You should do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mainly because no one else does either apart from Magura. Untapped market there chief.
Cheers anyway – let me know if you start doing them, from the kind words everyone seems to have about you i’d like to throw some biz your way.

just stumbled accross the original post. where did you end up sending your forks to hora? also looking for an good service on a few leaky forks but dont want to give my wallet a hammering!

Well the clear outcome of this thread was to send them to “LoCo” because he seems to know what he’s doing and has some good feedback.

give us all a report back when you get your forks back hora. this tale is like a book with no ending! lol 🙂

Got my DHX Air done by Loco last week and only have good reports. Think it may have been a little porked before I sent it off but now there is no squelching and consistant damping. Followed his advise on filling the HV air sleeve with grease and the shock definately functions differently without bottoming out as easily.

Need a lot more seat time to play with the setup but it looks like I may be able to run a slightly lower main chamber pressure creating more sag but with better mid stroke control so all good. On the old setup and main chamber pressure I had to use full bottom out and full propedal but currently have no bottom out and a few click of PP at the same pressure without it blowing through and feeling slow over ground

Simon kept me well informed through out the process. Glad to see there is more competition with Loco, Flowtec etc to keep people on their toes. Have also had good service from TF in the past including advice. 😀

@ hora

Not often on here but just stumbled accross this and realised it must have been your fox 36 i serviced last week hora. Hope your back on the bike after your tumble and the forks are running sweet!
