Hi Peeps,
Having just toasted my Ohlins rear shock absorber/damper (unseen by me the mudguard has worn thru the reservoir where a PO hadn't relieved the guard adequately ) I find I need to get it fixed. Got home this arvo accompanied by a large puddle of oil all over the rear wheel/tyre, bike sitting down on its haunches, wondered why my riding was a bit haphazard when I was out!)
Fortunately I have a spare Spax shock of indeterminate vintage which I have just fitted ( upside down probably as it isn't really obvious which way it should go ) so am out of trouble for the meantime.
Any one know of or have any recommendations on the Isle of Wight or nearby on the mainland? Official Ohlins service centres seem to be pretty thin on the ground it seems, so would probably entrust it to a suspension specialist.
Many thanks!
