So here's a question or 2 for a little survey i'm doing. Is there any company in SA who can replace stanchions and steerer tubes other than buying a complete new CSU from LBS/Importer. I'm talking about a suspension workshop who can take your existing fork and replace the stanchions and/or steerer tube. AFAIK, locally getting forks serviced and perhaps bushings replaced is about as far as they go. When it gets to stanchions then fork is toast or a new CSU is offered which works out more cost effective to replace the entire fork. What would you be prepared to pay for fitting new stanchions ? And what would you be prepared to pay to have new steerer tube fitted ?
