JJ Posted September 16, 2015 Share I was wondering if any hubbers could tell me what their Lefty shock service cost was more a less? I understand it depends on quite a lot, I just need a ball park figure. I'm not talking about the shock reset, I'm talking about the major service done by Omnico. Thanks!

Meentb Posted September 17, 2015 Share I recently had my 90mm converted to 100mm. It included a services as well. In the end it was just over R1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalahari Vegmot Posted March 20, 2017 Share How often do they need servicing? Can you do it yourself? Do the tools cost a fortune? Service kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted March 20, 2017 Share It's not really a DIY job, especially if the bearings need work. And you won't find a service manual anywhere, nor will you find the seal kits and tools. There are very few cases in which I'd say send it to the agents, but this is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjind Posted March 20, 2017 Share I have some play on my lefty. Lateral movement on the wheel. Is this a major issue or something small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyR Posted March 20, 2017 Share I actually just got this from Germany... https://r2-bike.com/RSP-RSP-Hochleistungsfett-SLICK-KICK_3 Now to figure out how to actually service the shock.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marshall Posted March 21, 2017 Share Not wanting to put you off but as Droo suggests this job is for the select few. The servicing itself is not complicated but you need the Cannondale tools to get into the fork. The tools have developed over time with the forks so there is not a "one fits all" option. One word of warning is that the plates holding the needle bearings in place are not the same thickness so all four sides need to be kept in exactly the same position as they were in when reassembling.

kosmonooit Posted March 21, 2017 Share Ditto what David says - taking a Lefty apart & putting it back together successfully needs special tools and advanced technical skills. What the users should do on a regular basis on the older type forks (with boot) is bearing resets - the procedure for that is in user manuals which you can find on the interweb.
