I’ve got 2 sets of Rebas that need doing:
2 sets of dust seals: £14 each
new bottle of 5wt: £10 (15wt I’ve already got)
Air piston o-rings: ??? I know I need them, but don’t know what size they are until I dismantle a set, measure them, order them, and wait.. I could order the “air piston service kit” from Rock Shox for £20 quid.. But that’s 5 **** nitrile o-rings for twenty **** quid!!! So lets for the sake of ebay call the 2 quid per fork.
So now I’m down 3 hours total (2 for labour, one for ebay), a few days wait for bits, and £21 per fork, and I’ve still not replaced all the damper o-rings that would be done on a retail service.
I’d still do forks myself, but what you get the retail price I think is very fair. Rear shocks are a no-brainer though. They’re too intricate and fiddly and need too many special tools for me to consider doing anything more than an air can service.
