What are they doing for £40 is what I’d be asking- that’d be cheap for an hours labour and that isn’t long to strip, clean, check and refill a pair of forks even with them off the bike

The main reason forks cost so much to improve is because generally speaking they're so rubbish to begin with.

But even if you haven’t changed your fork oil for a couple of years or more you’ll probably notice some improvement just by doing that. But honestly, once they’ve been sorted properly you’ll wish (as I did) you’d done it years ago.

By the way, fork oil is really smelly when it’s old- why is that?
