I'm not pointing my fingers at your, merely stating example.

 

Now that you have present one of the reason why ppl go ahead with the repair dispite that the shock is not in good health.....

 

 

I reckon its only fair to say that the shocks leak several months after rebuild due to the fact that the "chrome rod" was nicked and nothing can be done to it unless you get it replace.

 

Coz by omitting this fact, it serve a different kinda impression that its job not well done....

Ppl here send their shocks for rebuilting bcz they hv the impression dat after being rebuilt, the shocks will work fine, not expecting them to leak juz after several mths.

Moreover, dis shop is highly recommended.

 

How many of us here noe dat when the rod is scratched, the shocks r considered gone?

Especially when itz only after the guys dismantle the whole thg, den will the owner be enlightened with regards to dis.

 

Yes, I agree with u dat they did not mentioned y did their shocks leak, which is unfair to the shop.

Likewise I'm juz trying to make ppl noe when n why they shld or shld not rebuild their shocks.

 

I reckon not many ppl knew abt dis.

All they knew was, they're good? Trained in US? blah blah blah..

Actually, I have seen serveral shocks rebuilt including mine.

2 out of 3 have problems. My friend's ones keep leaking even going back to them also no use. Where the other one there is a sqeaking sound.

So if ur are leaking then I suggest, buy new ones. No point rebuilting and end up leaking again. Spend more in this case.

 

But if ur shocks are in good condition and needed a little magic to perform better then go to them would be a good choice.

 

That is the major problem of buying the more than 8 years old super 4 where

all the rear shocks are almost gone.

Hi Brothers of S4,

 

I need to rebuilt my suspension. was wondering how the process will be and how much will it cost? which shop did u all vote for?

[ghost04]

showa i think only 1 or 2 shops service. mezzo and bikelab among them. i done mine for 200 at least 4 hours job.. damn previous owner know how to push in his bike at the time where all most of the parts are wearing out...leaving me to pay lots$$ to repair rebuild and service.
