    What the problem reading TF,S instructions.
    (Hold the fork horizontally for the rest of the procedure to prevent oil from leaking out of the lowers…. Use 5mm Allen key to unscrew lower foot bolt by approx 5mm. Use a soft hammer to hit the end of the bolt to free the spring plunger from the lowers – be careful not to hit the lowers!)
    You defo need it in the coil side or on your head be it.

    Yer the busses are great.

    If you can get to Puerto de la Cruz.Get the bus up to el portillo which is on the slopes of mt tedie.It,s the main bus station right in the middle.Just ask which one at the info booth.
    There,s one bus in the morning at 9.00 ish.It,s full of mtbr,severyday and loads of room underneath the bus for bikes.
    You,ll need a dh or very strong trail bike for up there.
    The forests are full of trails and it,s all down hill. 😉
    If you speak a bit of spanish the local lads are cool.
    Trails form el portillo will keep you entertained for days.
    Also the orotava valley is good.
    The place is teaming with places to ride bud…

    07 recon 351 sl,s
    09 lyrik coils
    08 pike 426 airs….strange….
    First 2 are oem and the lyriks where bought off here so don,t know what they had in.
    saying that i bet the revs are blue. 🙂

    Never seen blue 5 weight fluid in any of my RS,s.
    Know what you mean though as easier to spot if the damper seals have gone or leaking a wee bit.
    Think the one i use is motul pro factory stuff from bought from local m/bike shop.
    This stuff.

    1-silicon spray the piston seals.
    2-pump them out.
    3- clean round pistons
    4-use the pad spacer to push them back in.
    5-repeat abut 5 times and jobs a goodun. 😉

    IMPORTANT BIT.
    important: air u-turn fork MUST be set to full
    travel setting before installing lower legs. turn air
    u-turn knob counter-clockwise to set to full travel.

    From memory when i service my u-turn dual air pikes you have to make sure that the u-turn is full out.
    Give me a min and i,ll find the service link that explains it.

    12 grand…Bloody ell.
    You’ve got to be joking right.
    That’s way of the mark that price.
    Your only doing a re-felt and batten using existing tile.?
    Some timber work and a small flat roof.?
    We are going full refurbs on houses all the time and i can honestly say that even with the complications that may occur(it,s only timber)
    you should really not be paying any more than about £4000.
    Saying that i could have that lot done for about £2500 as we have a roofing firm who does all our work.
    Don’t firms just love to rip the public off though…

    Is the U-turn assembly would fully out before putting it all back together.?

    Looser tolerances and poor build quality = excellerated wear, I did have one of my bearings fail on a rear pro 2 after 12 months due to being ridden in horrendous weather conditions and all year long, one of this forums members was using them.

    .
    I was that bearing user.
    It took some grief before it failed though.
    Fully recommend Kaesae’s bearings.
    Iv,e got a full compliment of them on Trance X frame with no worries.
    The one that failed was the outer bearing on a pro 2 free hub.
    Front’s and all the other rears are still fine 12 months on. 😀
