Ohlins rebuilds - who, where, when, what?

#1 Post by TwinNut » Fri Apr 20, 2007 9:46 pm

I've now managed to source a Mille Ohlins unit but it's well in need of a rebuild. Anyone care to share their experiences of having a shock rebuilt and also provide suitable names and contact details?? I also need to know if the stronger (ahem) spring fitted to my Falco specific Ohlins will go into the Mille unit or will I need a new one......are they expensive?

Hi TN,

I had my Ohlins forks serviced by Gareth Evans of Reactive Suspension
(Tel/Fax: 01904 491188 - Email: info@reactivesuspension.com - Address:
Unit 3 Parkhouse Farm, Pottery Lane, Strensall, York, YO32 5TJ).

I know that others on here have also used his services and rated him highly.
He used to work for Crescent Suzuki BSB team.

Is there only one person on here who's had a shock rebuilt? Surely, there's more than that, i know it's a dull question but i could do with a hand here fellas.
