Fork Service DetailsA general service on a suspension fork consists of complete disassembly, clean and inspection of all parts, with stress and wear areas examined for tolerances and fatigue. If at this stage fork bushings need replacing the owner will be contacted regarding an extensive rebuild.Most often front suspension units do not require bushing replacement, with few needing only bushing sizing or re-seating and this is carried out as part of the general service.Sealed, semi sealed, open bath damping cartridges and air spring cartridges are disassembled to aid seal replacement, including inspection of cartridge bores for damage or fatigue. Pistons, valves and shims are inspected and o-rings, quad rings, pneumatic seals ( if applicable ) and glide rings are replaced, the cartridge/s reassembled and checked for correct operation.( some factory sealed damping cartridges can not be disassembled, although purging several times with fresh suspension fluid normally cleans the internal mechanism adequately ) Fork leg oil seals, foam rings and dust wipers are replaced. The fork is reassembled with new ( foot nut ) crush washers, filled with fresh oil to factory specifications or owners requests. The rebuilt fork is bench tested for correct operation and prepared for return.Rear Shock Service DetailsA general service on a rear shock consists complete disassembly, clean and inspection of all parts, with stress and wear areas examined for tolerances and fatigue. Coil springs are examined for fatigue or signs coil bind. If a new shock shaft or external/internal mechanism/part is required the owner will be contacted regarding this. All o-rings, quad rings, slip rings, glide rings, oil seals and dust wipers are replaced, the shock shaft bushing is inspected and replaced if worn. The floating piston is set to factory specifications, and oil replacement is airless due to complete immersion. Where applicable a nitrogen re-charge or recommended air pressure in the reservoir/IFP housing/Boost valve. New air sleeve seals, bushings and valve cores for air shocks. All air assist and air spring shocks are set with average air pressure, the owner must adjust the settings to the manufacturers recommendations. The rebuilt shock is bench tested on the dyno, air shocks are supplied with a silicone travel indicator.Eyelet DU bushings are replaced for a minimal extra charge, and if alloy reducers are damaged or worn they are also replaced at extra cost, prices for mount kits and DU bushings herePriority ServiceUse the booking form or send direct - electronic booking can prevent delays due to preparation, sending direct is often applicable toreturning customers with previous service records for their particular suspension component - all suspension components are servicedand returned with an invoice and payment details supplied - ride first pay later :-)Freight AddressHigh Speed Cycles106 Old Taupiri RoadRD2TaupiriWaikatoNew Zealand
