winter job planning

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Mon Aug 30, 2010 2:19 pm

OK - time to start planning stuff for the winter rebuild servicing etc

I am planning on doing my front forks, and rather than just servicing them, I am contemplating the change over to ohlins internals

anyone actually done this?

if so, how hard or easy to do?

also - anyone found a good source for the needed bits in the UK?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I've got the Ohlins internals ..... they're in the Ohlins externals. :smt003

A bit of an improvement over the Marzocchis but not night and day - I guess because the Marzocchis were pretty good anyway.
Can't really comment on the Showas.

(just in case anyone doesn't know, you can get ohlins internals for the showas but not for the marzocchis)

Would K-tech to Marzocchi internal replacement bits? Looks like they only do replacement forks on their site, but may be worth a call though.
