Could do with some help my standard forks on my mk3 are not worth repairing now that they've been stripped. However I've just had my front wheel rebuilt and yokes powder coated. So I'm wondering if there's any better forks out there that will fit the standard wheel and yokes? Or am I better getting ...

Re: Mk3 rebuild

I was going to powdercoating the case but was a little worried it would all chip whilst driving bearings in. Dropped my suspension off at shocktech today to see what they can do with it. One of my fork bodies is badly corroded and flaking. So I was talking to them about using cr forks and if the bot...

Re: Mk3 rebuild

i also want a set of supermoto wheels.

Spoke and nipple sets for wheels

Would i be right in thinking if i ordered a spoke and nipple set for an xr 400 disc hubs they would be exactly the same as crm wheels. So that i can rebuild the wheels?

Re: Mk3 rebuild

Finally got round to emptying the cases of bearings

So I'm thinking of having the case powder coated before I put new bearings in is this recommended?
And is there any drawbacks?

Mk3 rebuild

Thought I'd start a build thread it bought a mk3 back in October to use for a bit of laning and a commute a couple of times a week. I soon found that the previous owner had fiddled a lot and didn't know what he was doing. Then when my engine begine sounding more like a diesel I decided it was best t...
