The main difference between a Fork Service and Rebuild is the level of disassembly and inspection we do. We recommend a fork service every 20-30hrs and a rebuild every 60hrs, essentially every second service should be an deeper “inspection/rebuild”.
FORK SERVICE
Our standard fork servicing includes the complete disassembly of your forks including all internal parts. Once disassembled we inspect all parts for wear and damage. Inner and outer fork tubes are checked for straightness and inner fork tubes are polished if needed. Piston assemblies are also disassembled, cleaned and resurfaced. Cartridge assemblies are tested and oil seals, dust seals and bushing are replaced if necessary. Forks are rebuilt with high performance fork fluid. Forks will receive Kontrol Suspension Solutions decals unless instructed otherwise. (*Parts additional charge)
