Fork service - quick turn around

[Moose.]

I'm returning to the UK in a couple of days and want to get out on the bike asap. However, it's been sitting in my parent's garage for 15 or so months and the forks are a year older on top of that; so I suspect they'll need a service(?). They're Dual Air Rockshox Revelations and were working just fine before I left.

Anyone got any recommendations of somewhere I can take them (South West UK) or send them off to?

TF Tuned or Loco

TF tuned

I would just check the pressures are correct , give them a clean and get out riding.

Loco, Ex TF Tuned employee and never heard a bad word about him - 10% cheaper than TF too.

Vote for Loco here. Good service, quick turnaround.

TF tuned, need to book in advance which ensures quick turn around and good service

Or man up and do them yourself.

Buy some seals from chainreaction, some 7.5 weight oil from Halfords and spend ten minutes in the garage with the spanners.

Unless you're truly mechanically incompetent that's all the time you'll need!!!

let out air, undo bolts on bottom of fork legs, pull off lowers, lever off old seals with screwdriver, press in old seals with large socket, put back together, fill with oil and you're off.

Well, I built a kit-car and serviced my own cars, so how hard can it be

Might give that a go and if it fails I'll send them off

I've gone as far as a lower leg service on all my Rockshox forks and it's VERY easy - sure there's guides for this on youtube. Not gone as far as replacing seals myself as worried about damaging them when fitting the new ones.

Only advantage of using somewhere like TF Tuned is they'll overhaul the actual damping cartridge and U-turn cartridge (if fitted), not something that can be done easily at home.

FWIW, I was seriously impressed with TF Tuned servicing my Revelations when I had a problem with my U-turn cartridge.
