Where to get Suntour slider sleeves?

[mahleu]

I'm trying to get some forks with loads of play right so I can sell my old bike. Anyone know where I can get 32mm slider sleeves locally?

Anyone? I see I can get overseas but the forks aren't worth the cost.

This is the importer for Suntour Parts in SA

For XCR 32 Forks you have to change  the complete casting. That's what I've seen posted.

 

How would you get the old ones out ?

If you could get the old ones out undamaged maybe an engineering shop could re-sleeve them or make new ones.

Thanks, I found the importer but no contact details. I went into one of the shops they supply and they didn't know anything about ordering parts. 

 

The old sleeves will come out with some persuasion...

When it comes to Suntour, It's probably easier and cheaper just to buy a new fork.

 

I bought a new Suntour fork off the Hub cheaper than what I was quoted to service mine.

 

Most entry bikes come out with Suntour and many people sell them off to upgrade.

If you have these inside your fork try to rotate them by 90 degrees. It might improve the play.

They usually don't wear much on the sides.

Thanks, will try that before doing anything dramatic.
