Local Bike Shop Capable of Fox Fork Rebuild (MTB) https://houstonnewmedia.org/local-bike-shop-capable-of-fox-fork-rebuild-mtb/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=local-bike-shop-capable-of-fox-fork-rebuild-mtb Mon, 23 Nov 2020 15:13:53 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=a4626283243a5d1f9c487b3817e89cba

Hi, I'm looking for a recommendation on a Local Bike Shop (LBS) who has excellent techs capable of a complete strip and rebuild of my Fox Talas RL Fork for my old 2007 Stumpjumper. It started to bleed on me several years back and I ended up just getting a new bike rather than mess with the fork, in part bc of some incorrect feedback from a LBS but mostly bc I got the approval from the wife to go splurge on an upgrade.

I previously had a bad experience with West End bikes on this as they were not willing to look at the issue but were highly motivated to sell me a new bike. Basically told me "its old, its probably unfixable, they don't even sell new forks for that bike anymore, let me show you this new S-Works instead".
I know there is a limited selection of 1-1/8" straight tube forks but none, now that's BS (esp 3 years ago). I did buy a new bike, just not from them.

I ended up holding onto the bike bc I had just upgraded its to a 1x11, put new brakes on, and just generally loved this bike. All it has done is essentially hang from my garage for the last 3 years. Now that my son is getting older, I'd like to get it fixed so he can grow into it.

Any recommendations on a LBS who is up for a fox front fork shock tear down and rebuild?

I'm also looking at mailing it out, but would much rather take it to a local shop and support our economy. So I'm open to a rec on that as well.

Thanks yall, I really appreciate it!
