Anyone know of a good place in North Bucks, Northampton or Bedfordshire to get the Ohlins shocks serviced on my 12S? I used Revs near Brum before, and they are good, but it's a ways to go from MIlton Keynes area, especially if I have to leave the bike.
Last time it was an eBay shock that I dropped off at Revs and they posted back.
Cheers.

What about mail order? it might be less hassle to remove the shock and post it to a specialist to have it done right then get it posted back to yourself??
Sorry I can't assist-but i was sort of wondering the same as my ohilns rear spring is starting to show just a wee bit of corrosion so would like to source a new one.
Check out here anybody close??

If it is just a cosmetic issue, why not remove spring oneself and paint it? I did and well pleased with result.

I've used MCT in the past, as have a few biking mates from the Cambridge area and they've always done a superb job.
