Servicing rockshock pike

[Nano]

Hi.
Does anyone know where I can get rockshock 0w30 suspension fluid from
And also what's the best grease to use on a fork service?

Thanks

Best grease to use is the juddy butter from rockshox themselves but "rubber grease" you get at auto zone is just as good 

 

Suspension fluid is suspension fluid you can get it at a motorbike shop just get the correct weight fluid.

 

Good luck

do you just need dust wipes or foam rings as well?  I got a set of dust wipes that are basically new....

Is R300 labour the average for putting in 2 tokens on a RockShox Pike? Was told by LBS that warranty on fork & shock would be void if I do it myself.

On what basis would it be void? The tokens are user installable - take 1 minute in a hurry and 3 if you have a beer midway.

BULLSH#T !!!!!!

 

 

Deflate your fork 

Take off the top cap (use a six side socket otherwise you could ruin it if it slips )

skrew in the tokens and tighten slightly with alen key

resinstall top cap 

inflate and go shred .

 

Should take you 5mins if you are quick.

 

****Stay away from that shop in the future

Thanks for the replies. Thought I'd smell bullsh#t! It's actually sad, cause it's a new bike, I'm a new customer and I still have a free first service with them. Don't think I will be going back then.

 

Why would people do this? This actually leaves a very sour taste now. Just when you think that there are some good shops out there, you get a new bike, you want to support the guys then this!?

 

Regarding the warranty void, was told that some other client fiddled with forks & shock and then stuffed it up. He is now unable to ride and can't afford a new shock. So I went with the "trust" in what was told to me & I didn't want to have these issues on my new bike.

 

I actually want to name this LBS. Aaarrrggghhhh!!!

I got a bottle of 0w30 from Lynnwood cyclery.

They had to order it from Rockshox supplier and I waited a few weeks.

I think you should tell us who's the shop is ?? They might think twice about bullshitting in future ! I get that it will take 5 min of there time , but it's not like they have to book theatre time at the local hospital to do it . 2ndly rock Shox promote the user changing tokens themselves . Add s token , hit the trails , come back add another, try it out , too many , come back take it out again ... damn that could get expensive with your lbs ... if that's the case , speak to trail tech and purchase a rad new Mrp ramp control for your pike . Then you can adjust on the fly

It starts with an R and they are in Edenvale area. 

 

Should have listened to you okes (Gravity Forum) and just took my bike to a

proper shop that knows this stuff. Expensive lesson learned....

 

 

I am still not comfortable with the RockShox suspension setup on my bike and think someone with more knowledge can fine tune it for me to make it feel awesome. New to this kind of suspension dialing thing.

 

I will be making a trip to them and ask for advice.

 

Thanks.

I know. But when you drop more than 30k on a bike at a dealer, you kind if expect some service / trust / relationship. Guess not. Welcome to the real world. ????????????????????????????????
