I sent out my shock and had it serviced by racers choice in nh. Very happy replaced bladder, piston oring, piston ring ,bushing ,dust seal ,oil seal ,bump rubber ,nitrogen ,oil , 110.00 parts 79.00 labor is this a decent price ? Nathan the owner was very patient and went over all adjustments and their changes. Like to do my own work but didn't know what to do about nitrogen so I sent it out.

I rebuilt mine this winter. About $10 for the bladder, $40 for the seal head, $30 for the oil and a couple $$ for the linkage bearing. My brother has nitrogen where he works so I got a free-bee there...

I just followed Paul Theids video tutorial and I had it done in afternoon. No special tools needed, but you have to get a little creative when pushing the new seal head in.

What brand seal head did you use? Bladder too? Did you have to replace the dust seal or anything else?

I have nitrogen at work also, what type of fitting did you use to fill the shock? That's where I get lost. I know it's a schrader valve, but not sure about a ball valve gauge, etc fir plumbing.

All Balls seal head, Pivot Works bladder and bearing, and Mixima 7wt oil. Did not change the piston band

I don't know how the N fill was done, I just told him 175psi. It's just a standard valve stem and the Nitrogen charger can compress and decompress the valve stem with a switch.

Sounds like a fair price to me. Typically about $80-$100 for labor, and easy to get to around $100 (or more) in parts, especially if you replace the bumper as well.

thanks for replying putting bike back together now and hope to ride tomorrow .
