    Anyone recommend any decent places in S London/Kent/Surrey area to get a fork service done on the '08 blade?
    Got a weep on one leg - thought I'd fixed it with a sealmate at the end of last year but has come back after the first ride of '23!

    Realise there's a "how-to" but don't have any of the tools and not gonna have the time to do it this year...

    Cheers

    Is it a bad leak or just what seeped past in a few months?
    Any mechanic can do forks on the 2008. I've done Showa forks at home and while it's not a fun job, it's not too difficult.

    not super bad, just a bit of a weep - enough to run down the leg onto the calliper bracket tho so needs looking at. I’ll have a chat with the boys down the road see if they can give me a price

    Is dropping the forks out an option for you? If so you can then post them off for service.

    Brook suspension have a good reputation and have a mail in service.
