If it's a 30mm stanchion I can help, if it's a 28mm then the seals are no longer available so there's not much to be done aside from changing oil and replacing some internal o rings, which I can also do. Rather save it than bin it if you can, landfills are full enough.

Steady Spin Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 In JHB I would say Sprocket & Jack would be a good call. Further up north you can go to Cogent in Pretoria. Both shops will do an excellent job.
Graham W Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 If you out joberg south alberton area I can assist have all the seals in stock and do the service in house
droo Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 Plenty of spares for those still available, and they're not too difficult to work on.
