Hiya All,

NC29 - are the OE Rear Shocks rebuildable? Or are they one sealed unit?

Is there a difference between the different NC29 versions?


Hope you can advise

Cheers

They can, but you might not be able to do it at home, as it requires some specialist tools to pull apart I believe.

My std shock has been rebuilt and modified, and is about to be rebuilt again.

Hiya Greggo,

Excellent! I wasn't going to try it myself, but to get it sent off to specialist.
Can you reccomend anyone in the SW of englnad area?

hiya LP,

6 months? Grief!

How many miles? track riding?
What happended after the 6 months? Started Leaking? Back to "no plush suspension"??


Who did it for you? I may want to avoid perhaps.

6 months of ever single day road riding. no idea on mileage as i stopped counting. its a daily commute bike that i like to have fun on.
The guy who did it was fired from the bike shop i use. left a legacy of balls ups from what i hear.
after 6 months? back to old squshy suspension!

but while it was good...ooh yeah it was good :0)
