RodTi Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Hello all, I'll probably be needing to service the fork this year.Anyone from Paarl/Stellenbosch/Cape Town are that recently had theirs in at the LBS, to be sent off for a service? Assuming nothing major was wrong - how long did it take from drop-off to pick-up? I'd like to start making plans etc...
KnobbyMech Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Hijack on: Do it yourself in less than your travelling time and the tools and oil will pay for the fuel. Few things as satisfying as gathering up the courage and then doing this yourself. Hijack off
CAAD4 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Since you are in Stellies and Omnico, the agents, are in Slaapstad, it shouldn't take too long.

But with 2nd one on the way, end of February - time, she is but a fleeting mistress... [Hi-jack off]

RodTi Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Mine took 10 days from Jhb. Reckon I'm safe to count on it being a week then...
MoreTrails Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Omnico should take around 2-3 days if you hand it to someone like BMC. So hand it in on Monday and expect it back by Wednesday, latest Thursday. Hand it in anytime from Wednesday onwards and it could come back the following Monday... That being said I have been pleasantly surprised with it arriving early before hand - but that was only once . Some bikes shops charge you a handling fee, so be aware (which I think is offsides, however fair if they have to remove it from the bike etc...). BMC however don't if you just take the fork/shock on its own, thats why we use them... PM if need more info... happy trails ouens
MoreTrails Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Shouldn't be that long - it only takes an hour or 2 to do the work...depending on damage naturally.
MintSauce Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Usually in the CBD it takes one to two days, but from Stellies I can't tell. Depends how often Omnico go out that way. I recently had a warrenty issue with a new fork and they fetched from the LBS, rebuilt and delivered the same day....but that was a brand new fork so they went out of their way.
MTBer Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Where do you guys order your seals for a Fox fork, I see CRC does not have any
MoreTrails Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Enduro seal kits from Olympic cycles or order from Rush Sports in KZN. They come with crush washers too - bonus!
