With the right tools, I thought doing the seals and bushings on my forks was a piece of cake. Improvising a spring compressor (you may not need that) and a seal driver made it a pain in the ass. I finally bought the spring compressor, and I'll definitely be buying a real seal driver for next time. You might end up spending $50 on tools, but that's way cheaper than the shop, and you'll get a good idea of how your forks work while you're in there.

That's what I'm saying... I'm guessing that's including the seals, labor and fork oil Bro... Price that stuff out before you make a final decision. It's about $30 for seals and $10-20 for fork oil... Anyway, good luck if you do it yourself!!!

HEY!!! Call Ken Wheeler and see what he'd want. You're going to the Gap anyway and he could tune your suspension at the same time!
http://www.mountainhomepage.com/wheelers/ If you time it right, he could take your bike in and do your forks and set up in a couple hours, no problem! I don't think you'll find anyone that will bad mouth Ken. |

Wheelers does cheap, fast and good work. It would prolly beworth your time to have him do it and set up the suspension at the same time

Shit ya. When I was there with WOS a few years back... he let us borrow a front end stand, we dropped the forks from a RC51 (blown seal) in his parking lot with tool kit tools, handed them off to Wheeler and came back in a few hours... left the bike in the parking lot with no front end. |
