25.01.2022 The ol’ CSU switcheroo. Stanchions were both worn through the anodising completely. They feel like a new fork now though!

21.01.2022 New damper body on this X2. Kashima upgrade because they don’t make this size in black as a spare part

20.01.2022 Ooomph! That bushing wedged between the damper body and air can would have caused a huge amount of friction! Wore the kashima off obviously. Last pic is fork stanchion bushing wear, all the way through the kashima coat(aka anodising) to the bare aluminium.

18.01.2022 Silks is set up to service all your Fox and Rockshox suspension locally! With same or next day turn around for bookings, you get to spend less time off the bike. Give us a call and book in now

16.01.2022 Rockshox Monarch Plus on the bench. Had some corrosion inside the piggyback where the IFP sits

16.01.2022 BOOKS CLOSED FOR 2020! Sorry folks but I’m chokkers this year and can’t take anymore service bookings. I’m currently taking bookings for January for suspension work and wheelbuilding.

11.01.2022 @vorsprungsuspension offer some serious aftermarket suspension upgrades, like this Secus, so we’re excited to be a dealer for them now! I’ll have one fitted to my own bike shortly(as soon as I can get a fork ) for people to come have a boing on.

10.01.2022 Just washin Yetis.

09.01.2022 Fox 34 with Fit damper rebuild today! Feels plush as!

09.01.2022 @industry_nine Hydra hubs to build into a wheelset for myself (when I get a spare second). i9 hubs are a top tier hub that I haven’t tried, so thought I would give them a razz for my new build. 690 real points of engagement too. Get in touch for custom wheelbuild options!

04.01.2022 I’ve only got a couple more service spots available until I’m closing my books for the year. When I reopen in the new year I’m planning to prioritise suspension work to aim for faster turnaround times on everything Fox and Rockshox. This unfortunately means general servicing and smaller jobs will be a longer wait. Unless of course your bike is also having suspension servicing done as part of the job. Here’s a random picture of the guts of a DPX2 that had pressurised aerated oil that exploded over the bench

03.01.2022 We've altered our trading hours slightly to have a proper weekend, as well as allow more time to work behind closed doors to cope with the current workload. Currently listed as opening Tuesday-Friday, but also open by appointment on Mondays (although google and facebook both dont allow for listing 'by appointment'). I hope this doesn't put too many people out. Cheers. Lewis

03.01.2022 I love building wheels, but I rly don’t like doing spoke length calculations. That’s probably just because I’m slow at it though. Nice wheelbuilds coming up with some juicy parts from DT Swiss, Industry Nine, Spank, and Bouwmeester.

02.01.2022 Well that’s not ideal. No wonder the fork wouldn’t compress
