I enquired when he serviced an ohlins shock for me. Reckons paioli are a load of crap and "you need ohlins you do". Of course, we knew that anyway 
Would appreciate an off cut of tube if you find any. I can soon weld it to some smaller tube
P.S.
There's also a financial element to this now I'm without a visible means of support
£20 squid for seals and oil or £200 squid for an expert 
The "expert" failed last time.
Besides, I don't want to fall into the cheque book restoration bracket. You know, when people say they've restored something when in reality, they get their cheque book out and project manage.

Olins would be nice but you'll be droping the best part of a grand into the bike. As long as my forks do generally what they need to I'll be happy - they'll still be better than me

agreed
As long as "experts" don't take my money and do a crap job...I'm good
Oh yeah....they already did 
If you want a job done properly and all that......

| I'm guessing the project is my old SB6 mate... and the expert is the place I payed over 200 quid to for the rebuild. would be interested to know for future reference if it is because maxton personally recommended him and I will be having words if thats the case. |

...No, not your old bike...
Forks on that one are still working as far as I'm aware
