    Who do you use to courier them?
    Do you pay for the additional insurance?

    I’ve just been looking & it costs an additional £30-40 to get them insured for their value.

    Where do you live?

    Last time I asked exactly this, someone pointed me in the direction of a local servicer…

    I insure yes. They’re damn expensive items if they were lost

    Mate of mine sent a set of Ohlins Ducati V4 forks. £2500, uninsured. Never arrived, he lost it all.

    Gutted was an understatement

    The majority of my customers use Evri or Collect Plus to send in their forks. Most rear shocks get sent in with Royal Mail.
    With regards to insurance, sometimes its not worth the extra money as you often find that the T&C’s state you need a proof of purchase to make a claim so its worth reading the small print.

    `I’ve bought a 2nd fork(Lyrik) so when I feel the current one(Fox 36) needs a service i can swop over.

    But I’ve decided I’m going to do them myself as I’ve watched a couple of dozen vids on you tube, and the process seems quite straight forward. At least for the basic service. Also having the 2nd fork means im in no rush and no chance of getting flustered and forgetting to ddo something or properly tighten the footnut.

    When I had bombers i did full service on those – seals, bushings etc, and while they’re a bit more basic than today’s forks, much of the process is the same, possibly even easier.
