mtb_Josh Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I'm busy servicing my reba fork, does anyone know of a place in pta where I can get suspension oil? I also need to find o-rings/seals, is an lbs best for those?
TNOSE_E Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 You can get 15W and 5W from your local Motorbike shop. Seals and orings order from Lbs.
jugheaddave Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I used oil from LMS (local motor bike shop) The oil was 1/4 the price of the fox oil, and probably better quality.
Eedubz Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Use Motul or Belray, just get the weight that your fork needs.
mtb_Josh Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 Ok, thanks, I'll go past the motorbike shop tomorrow. I just phoned 2 lbss, one said there was no chance of getting seals from them and the other said they could order them for about R500 (o-rings and dust wiper seals) is that right!? sounds a bit expensive to me...

I've already pm'ed Johan and he says that he is hopefully getting the seals in tomorrow. If he lets me know that he has got them I would really appreciate if you would bring back a set for me? Thanks a million!

Weight Weenie Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Johan can we clone you so you can start an LBS ? PLEASE !
Johan Bornman Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Johan can we clone you so you can start an LBS ? PLEASE ! Cloning sounds fun...are there any women involved in the process? Scew the bike shop thing, lets start a microbrewery.
Weight Weenie Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Like Nottingham Road Brewery ? mmm wouldn't mind a Whistling Weasle
Procrates Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Het hulle al iewers raakgedrink by 'n bierproe, baie goed. Anything but the mass produced crap really.
mtb_Josh Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 Thanks for the supplies JB! Just finished servicing my fork, will put it on the bike tomorrow and test it out. Your help is much appreciated
