(Attachment Link)

Going to work on rebuilding the rear wheel and try my hand at truing the wheels this week.

Following that I want to get tyres fitted then get the front and rear suspension mocked up for fitment and this is where my next question comes in.

Been looking at rear shocks and plenty of options out there. I did see TEC adjustable shocks as being well regarded here on the forum, but I've contacted TEC and they won't be making these anymore. Any other suggestions? Ikon, Hagon?

TEC seemed to be well priced but Ikon and Hagon options look to be a lot more expensive in some instances.

Oh, and the 48mm circlip 9452148000 for the oil seals in the forks - mine are in bad shape and need to replace them. Does anyone know the correct thickness for these?

Thanks!

Try this guy, he was the south east agent for TEC and had a number of pairs for sale at Kempton Park the last time I saw him.

Thankyou! Will give him a try.

Hi all,

 I'm starting to rebuild the forks but am a bit unsure about the seal and circlip install in the tubes.

Basically I have a big gap. I've seen one vid that has a spacer, but the exploded parts list for my model on cSMNL doesn't have this? I can't find a spacer in the parts bin and I can't remember one been there when I took it apart.

Bryanj:
Replacement seals are thinner than the original but all seals are so tight in the sliders they will never move anyway

juitz:
OK thanks Bryan 👍
