Noleen J6 experience ... and singlespeed champs carbon proflex build

[rapiddescent]

Just wondering what your experience of using NoleenJ6 has been?

I am having a total nightmare with them.  I ordered some shock parts over a month ago for my own k2 razorback and they haven't arrived - Our average transit time for parts from scotland to california is between 9 and 12 days, so 32 days is quite a lot.  I've emailled CJ but haven't heard anything. 

The reason I'm asking is that I frequently am asked to recommend noleen shock servicing agents...

The upshot is that I can't ride my razorback in this weekends Singlespeed championships and have built up Jeff/Simons old carbon frame instead.  This is a real shame because I also had the Razorback powder coated blue with blue glitter finish!!!  The carbon frame build is 1 kg heavier than the razorback which doesn't help the old legs and the carbon proflex has a massive chain length differential which makes it very hard to get a good chain length.  At the moment, the suspension bumps out using the chain which is not ideal.  making the chain 1 link longer means that only 1/3 of the 16T rear cog actually has chain on it and it skips.

Although, I am going to put in a noleen NR2 instead of the airshock (NR2 is 15mm longer) and this give another 3/4 inch of travel.

It has been over a year since I last dealt with them. Got a MegaAir seal kit from them. No problems and was here within a week, but then they are just over the hill. Did they forward you a tracking #?

nope, didn't get a tracking number!  I'll send a paypal reminder.

pictures of the proflex carbon to follow - it's here in the office awaiting a new chain!  BBQ's and 20 cans of beer ready to get packed.

Callum....i have dealt with them once and never again.

if you paid via paypal there is some documantation and you can always file a complaint via paypal to "help" them move along and resolving your issue
