Since I bought my bike in October 2008 my fork and shock haven't had so much as a puff of air. I think its time they had a service, any recommendations as to what to do with them. Mojo are service agents but TF Tuned have been recommended.

I prefer TF as they seemed to do a better job than Mojo, and if you want it TF can push your shocks which makes a significant improvement!

Forks - DIY and save yourself the money. So long as you haven't got a fault or need the bushes renewing the rest is easy to do. The bushes are easy enough but you need special tools which cost a fortune. All the parts (wipers, oil, O-Rings etc) are readily available online from Mojo.

Rear Shock - Not a DIY job due to specialist equipment needed. I've always used Mojo and had good service. They can tune the valve to your weight also although when I had it done I couldn't feel much difference.

Strip them out of your frame and take them along to Evans cycles at monks cross. They send them to a service centre and will turn them around in 2 days and charge £75 for forks and £45 for a rear air shock.

They will just send them off to Mojo or TF surely?

Even if they did, which they don't, it would be still cheaper as you will pay a minimum of £94 at TF Tuned and you still have to pay for the outbound postage. Factor in also that you do not have a two way postage risk.........

Seems they doit in house now! They go to a guy in Kendal who is supposed to be very good!! so yes Allan is right better value than Mojo & TF and free delivery if sent and collected from store.

I sent mine off through Evans Wed 2nd & was told that there's up to a 2 week turn round at the moment :(. But I did the service on mine & sarah's & it couldn't have been easier, I got the wiper seals & 'O' rings from TF tuning for £10 + P & P.

Think I'll go down the "have a go route" plenty of online guides to help.
If that fails I'll try evans as I have a £50 voucher for them burning a hole in my pocket.

Cheers
