Fork body repairs

Post by Mudfacetony » 25 Jun 2011, 15:50

I've done a search but no luck, but does anyone know of anyone who repairs the aluminium body of forks? My mk2 have some corrosion and if possible I would like to refurb them

Like http://www.mansfield-anodisers.co.uk ? Do you work there or know the guys? If you do, can they skim the bodies first?

honestly, would be cheaper to upgrade to some newer and better fork instead of spending money on shitty CRM forks :)

then stick your CRM forks in bubble wrap and pop them in storage...
