Cool. I looked in FAQ’s, couldn’t see anything. Fingers crossed. Odd that it’s not done at checkout.

I got some Pinion Oil off them last November..got it ok, but got charged VAT also.

Any Pinion gear, hit up Zerode.

Everything I've looked at, their pricing has beaten anything else I've found on the net.

Copy @wkkie..I got 240ml for about 50 euro delivered. Thought it was a bit exy.

so under $100 odd AUD ... thats cheap as considering the "kit" from zerode is $50 AUD plus postage for 30mls! you got like 7 years or 70000kms of oil there!

I’m considering one right now…the 2023 supposedly has a stronger more durable CSU. Never thought I’d consider another Fox but I’m thinking at least the warranty could be quicker than my more boutique stuff if/when it creaks

Surely you’re a 38 man? Just coz?
I’ve had a good run with pike/Lyrik CSU’s over the years. Only one creaking set years ago, and they came creaky s/h.
I’d be huddles in the corner eating cake if I’d bought Intends and they immediately creaked.

 

[moorey]

No. It’s a bit different, i emailed about them adjusting my invoice total to exclude Vat. Just waiting

Said no one ever…

fox suck but at least u can get spares.

Think it's 60ml every 10,000km/1 year so set for another 4 at least

38 isn’t needed at 160 travel.

Rockshox seem to have less issues than most with creaking..but their dampers are very average imo so there’s a trade off.

I’m refreshing my emails too much right now hoping for a shipping notification from Intend for the replacement….

Might be worth redacting some detail there Mr Moore

EDIT: A quick google suggests its less of an "emergency" than I thought

I'm irritated they don't have the 29er that can be extended to 140mm only the version that goes to 120mm. I've been wanting to try the Mattoc pro for ages and it's a great price.
