Ohlins fork service cost

    The forks were off the bike. I pulled them and dropped them off.

    Also, bike/forks were only one year old, so not sure if all seals etc. would have needed replacing.

    Also, and I'm just having a winge now... I dropped them off and gave him 3.5 weeks to get them done, as I had to head off for a business trip out of country. Got the wife to go down there and pick them up the day before I got back and it sounds like it turned into a last minute dash to get them done. Doesn't sound like the most organized type.

    Might ping him on the nut damage and see what he says.

    I'll give this guy a shot next time if he offers a mail-in service. Thanks for that.
     
  7. If you want to ship your forks, that opens up a whole world of highly qualified people to work on them.

    You can ship them to Livengood, Thermosman, Joe Kraft, Brad Stokes, so on and so forth.

    Yeah you probably should have done some research before you just send your forks up to anybody. It's kind of a big deal.

    Mike is super reasonable especially considering the wealth of experience you're getting.

  9. If you have the time and don’t have someone in your area buy a gun case and ship them off.

    GixxerBlade Oh geez

    Get a gun case at Walmart and ship them in there. I’ve always shipped mine to Tman or Jon@CTR

    Anyone know of a good place in OKC? Assuming I should just go to Dallas...

    In my estimation, getting the forks off the bike is more work than basic servicing. but I don't recommend it if you're not handy with the wrenches.

    If it's just an oil refresh, I do it myself. Sometimes I'll do seals and bushings. But the shock gets done by experts only.

    Joe Kraft has been my guy for the last few years and he does good work.
