Default Garage to do fork springs & oil.

Have come into enough cash to buy some better fork springs, but with work commitments and the likelihood of mucking it up doing it myself (and losing more of the summer season ) I'll be looking for a good bike garage to do it for me.

So does anyone know any suitable garage/specialist to trust the job to in North Yorkshire/Teesside/Co Durham area, anywhere within 40 min driveof Teesside is alright.

Cheers,

Tim

Lurcher - Thanks for the info.

Mrs Fud, Preston is a bit of way to get Elmered, However could it be done in a day if I came over early and left late? (Presume this is done at his work place).

Cheers,

Tim

Elmer has it down to a fine art. Only took him a couple of hours to do mine and that included the idiots guide (for me)

Can recommend Dave, Mr Fud- ask nicely and Jo might even give you a brew

No Tim it's not done at work, it's done at our home address and can be done in a few hours, if you want him to do it give him a pm to see if he is interested in doing another.

I know that it quite a way from where you are but two guy's even came down from Scotland to be Elmered and there was ice on the road that day!!!
I don't have to travel that far to be Elmered so it ain't a problem
