Let me try...

 

They will completely strip your fork and innards.

Clean throughly of oil residues.

Re-assemble back after drying.

Top up required amount of fully syn race grade fork oil.

Setup up forks adjusted to riders weight or riding preference (laden and un laden sag)

 

Finally they collect money for the services rendered !

Cheers !

hahaha...good 1 bro...

 

so things involved would be changing of fork oil, fork seal(or is it oil seal, or r they the same thing?)

 

so the whole process would take what? 1 day? 2 hours?

But for the rest of them...well...

Changing of seals is a must.

As important as changing of gaskets in the engine.

 

Whole process may take about 2-3 hours.

Depends of difficulty of the fork innards.

Cuz there are a few diff types of forks in the market using diff technology.

 

Cheers !

Bikelab is nt the shop tat do rebuilting forks and shocks.He is actually quite new to the market.I have spoken to him before.Nice guy and knows his stuffs.may like him rebuilt one for me nxt time.

 

There r others shops doing rebuilting shocks like david of Teck tai.He use to be the only guy doing rachtech shocks.20 over years in doing rebuilding shocks.

Nw even motorworld will do rebuilting forks and shocks.(saw they have the certs of Racetech)

when i did my front and back... i was more thn satisfied!!! but after one track day... i found that my coils in my front forks were soft(s4 common prob. as well)... but for norm riding... u will feel great... after spending more than 1000 bucks on my bike... i still feel.... i made the right move by rebuilding my front and back shocks!

true.. he maybe in the market for more than 20years...

but i ask u...he has the knowledge but does he have the proper knowhow? teck tai i noe very famous but the reason why i did not go there is because i feel more safe at bike lab coz i can see every move done to my shocks i donno if i can do the same for teck tai... + bike lab oso never so called show off their certs coz i believe that they want customers to go back bcoz of their workmanship and not bcoz of their certs to ease off their minds... personnally i will give them 8/10.. i minus off 2 pts coz of their waiting time.. but waiting is not a waste of time...

p.s i do not work for them...or have anything to do with them but only as a customer basis... do not misunderstand that i m flaming u pls... i am not..just tt i have been there done my shock there.. and till now a happy customer... thats all...
