Title: Noleen NR-4 leaking
Post by: The_Wolf_Biker on March 06, 2006, 05:48:34 am

I am from Romania , and the only way to fix this suspension - it neads new seals and bushings - is the Noleen service from USA but because the costs are high I am looking for a cheap solution . I wrote an e-mail to the Noleen service and ask them if I can buy the seals and bushings (no response yet  :( ). In Romania it those exists authorized service for suspensions but they don't have the seals , and if I can buy them it would be grait . If you people have a Nollen nr-4 to sell ( and it does work ) e-mail me at service@bmco.ro

Here's one. Unfortunately it's still attached to a frame, but you still might get a bargain!

Definitely not!!!!
This shock is not for a 4000.
Only for older frames with the shockstrut.

Hmm, I love the 857!!!
Maybe I should .... No not one more bike for me. Arghh! Yes I will! No I won't!

CVI in the UK may be a better bet for you than the US wolf biker

Yes Kiwi,

CVI in the UK will be ALOT better than Noleen Shock Service in California.

I have emailed them questions on several ocassions and never gotten a response, so good luck! I really don't like thier attitude.

Terry, wet and cold and spoiled!

I would have to ditto Terry's commnets.

I sent my two Noleen's to noleenshockservice WEEKS ago, maybe even a month has gone by....getting a run around [smiley=furious.gif] ...supposidly shipped on last Friday.

Their turnaround time is bull~sh*t.

Terry we have had hail, thunder, lightning and more hail, even some flurries....very rare (flurries) for sea level in my area of California.

Hmmm suspension companies...I have on a couple of occasions tried to get risse to comment on why a x57 risse fitment shock cant be fitted to an x56 which they insist requires the freedom plate adapter.
