Fork and Shock Servicing PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 16 December 2009 16:21
So you've invested your hard earned cash on Mountain Bike, maybe a hardtail or fully. To ensure its longevity it will need servicing. Your suspension also requires servicing.
  1. Always keep your fork clean, especially after muddy and gritty rides! If oil is seeping from forks seals they will need replacing.
  2. Use the tip of a zip tie to clean under the seals.
  3. Make sure the front and rear suspension are set up properely for your weight and riding style. We can help if you don't have the manual or don't read them
  4. If you ride all year round, get your forks serviced every 6 mths or so otherwise once a year to ensure good performance.

We can service the following brands of fork in house:

  • Fox
  • Rockshox
  • Manitou
  • Marzocchi
  • RST
  • SR

Fork seal kits range from $50-00 to $70.00 a set, labour charge for a service is usually $80.00, so a service typically ranges from $130-175.

Rear shocks usually cost from $150.00 and usually need to be sent to a service agent due to the specialist tools required. Freight is $15-20 return.

If you have any other queries please come in and see Ritchie or Paul in the workshop.
