Welcome to the new and improved Proflex / K2 Tech Forum!
Ive not contacted K2 no.To be honest its more the seals than the bearings that im concerned about so that would be the RK004 kit that im after.Would anybody have what im looking for? I read that a chap called Colin had some, but that was a long time ago.Thanks for taking the time to reply , Mike
Hi, new boy on the scene here.I know its a probable no, but im after the replacement bearing kit and seal kit for a crosslink 1998 fork.Ive searched high and low and cannot seem to be able to get these parts anywhere.I believe the ones im after are the RK006 and the RK004.I know im asking alot but if anybody could please help me i would be ever so grateful.I had a set of carbon's with the smart shock back in 99 and hope to relive the infamous j-path!Any help would be appreciated - i look forward to your replies , best wishes Mike
The downside of buying them off Iron Horse is that their shipping cost is enormous and by the time you add on import duty, Customs clearance and VAT, a couple of kits become exorbitantly expensive.Col.

They wouldn't budge!That's why it's worth me getting a few people together to share the P&P, import duty, VAT, customs fee, etc etc....I was able to do most kits for £8 each to members, but given the $/£ rate slide, I guess that would have to go up a fair bit.I have got a waiting list already started, so as soon as I have enough people/kits to make it reasonable, I'll enquire to see what kits they have left.Col.

Why not purchase the kits but have them sent to someone in the states from this site, then have them forwarded onto you as a gift with declared low value or marked as secondhand bike spares with low value ??Your postage will be greatly reduced and you won't pay import duties, I do it all the time.Simon.
