Fork on Pro Flex 756

That's interesting as the shaft IS worn - so if they replace the shaft does the cone adapter get raplaced too? On my Astro 5 it isn't a cone so I have to use a home made adapter and it would be great if they were to turn it into a cone while replacing the shaft...

That is an excellent question. I would think that they should accomodate you on that. I would contact Josh and ask that question.

My Genesis is on a crosslink (Astro 5 rear). I think the guy I spoke to was called Josh but I'm not sure. It was the same guy both times who answered the phone - he even remembered me when I placed the second order 5-6 weeks later. (I got the rear and then the front.)

Having read Shovelon's posts I checked about 4 times that it was going to be set up for the front during the order. Set to pressure the guy recommended (120 psi for 85Kg rider) fitted, rode and works lovely. Better than the, getting progressively softer, leaky Noleen.

Not bothered thinking about travel, but I ride xc and it takes the edge off, I'm not a jumper. (Although I did manage to fly into a tree on Follow The Dog at Cannock - ouch)

As far as travel, my carbon vector with the genesis has only 2 inches travel, but I admit it is silky smooth, now after Josh rebuilt it. Ultimately it will end up on some sort of softail bike I may build.

well he did reply and said yes he would do it for free (as long as I paid for shaft).

Whole lot will cost $93 - service, replace shaft and eyelet and return to UK. Not bad I think.

That sounds good Orange - especially with current exchange rate, just under 50 shiny pounds, can't be bad.

Talk to them about how they label it up for the return journey or there might be some VAT + handling type theft from your goodself.

ring Customs & Excise, I found them very helpful in what you can and can't do.
