You could be right! My forks will get a professional set up & oil change before I splash the bigger notes -thats for sure. Its about £40 around here, so if it works out its a major saving.

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?

Sorry my post wasn't too clear... The fork oil will get changed and then the £40 suspension set up guru mystical magic happens! Though the magic is not guaranteed to happen, the potential savings on £500 to £850 forks has to be tried.
