Suspension Rebuild

[Canadian]

Looking for someone to service/rebuild my forks and possibly shock. Have used Chris @ Pro-Action but the voicemail greeting over says he's taken a turn health wise and they aren't planning to open any time soon. Just wondering if anyone else is in this business (aside from the usual bike shops around town).

My thoughts go out to Chris and family. All I know is what I read in this forum a while back...

LRX performance does it too.

I sent mine out to Riders Edge in BC and was very satisfied with the results and customer service. It only cost me $40 to ship the forks and shock via greyhound

Enzo Racing out of Okatoks is good.

i just rebuilt my forks last weekend, it wasnt very hard at all. it was my first time and i was intimidated, but once i had it done, i realized how easy the whole process actually was. and now if i do it again, it would take me probably 2 hours total instead of the 5 it took this time! i had my service manual on hand.

....just incase you were thinking of trying it yourself

Just curious, what new parts did you install? I change my fork oil every 15 hours, and oil seals once a year, but I've never 'rebuilt' them.

a few aftermarket companies (and KTM) make rebuild kits that include new seals, bushings, orings etc. If you really wanted to freshen it up you could replace the shim stacks. They do get warped after years of use.

The simple excercise of changing the oil is almost as good as a rebuild too

i just replaced dust seals, and oil seals and oil of course.. but yeah the shim bushing can be replaced, and theres a few other little o rings and snap rings there too, rarely do the springs need to be replaced from my understanding. while apart check for damage to the inner tube, scratches etc..
