Std TRX rear shock rebuild deal. 1st March 2019

Post by cobbadiggabuddyblooo » Mon Feb 11, 2019 10:08 am

Discussions with Marko today was on getting the std trx rear shock rebuilt and I mentioned I was about to get mine done. So he jumped on board to get his done at the same time and while on the way home he dropped in to chatt to Paul at MPE suspension here in SE Qld.

http://www.mpesuspension.com.au/

So hear is the deal,
Base price is around $330
Rebuild the std TRX shock , replace oil with quality synthetic oil and re-gas with the option to re-spring to your weight.
It makes sense to have 4 or 5 of the same on the work bench and do a run so I’ve set a timeline of the 1st of March to get your shock either to my place or shipped directly to MPE.
Down time will be aprox 2 weeks plus the shipping times if not local drop off / pick up either at MPE or at my place.
2 have jumped on board at present and a great price for a well overdue upgrade on just about all TRX’s.

Another extra option is fitting a Racetech separator valve in the rebound cuircut.
Last time I chatted on this to Paul was an extra $70 but well worth it in my eyes.
I’ll clarify this later in the week.

So let me know who wants to take advantage of this offer and contact me.

I’ve put a number of forum members in touch with Paul over the years with nothing but excellent feedback on workmanship and price.
He currently has a pair of thundercat forks of mine to which he is retrofitting cartridge internals into which I will pick up when delivering the trx rear shocks and look forward to fitting to the white TRX.

If I can excavate my bikes from the dust and cobwebs in my sister's barn then I might have two shocks for the deal.
I'll let you know in a couple of days.

Cool bananas Dicky, i’ll Keep you in the loop mate.
There already is another 5 jumping on board and you have a couple of weeks up your sleeve to get things sorted.
Once I get a confirmation from you I’ll forward you an email address and MPE will request information on rider weights, bike weight, any changes ( ride height) style of riding ( sports, track, touring ) to tune to suit your needs.

I might be up for this too. How much roughly to do the forks? I have a pair of Thundercat forks and a pair of TRX which need re-chroming.

Ok got to talk to Paul today to clarify things a little.

I’m just waiting on an email from him showing the pricing regime and discount offered.

Price for re-spring to weight is not included but does includes new piston head seal and revised damping to suit your needs. Touring/ sports/ track . New Seals, bump stop , fluids and gas.

Once received I’ll forward you all a copy .
Sorry if any confusion on my behalf...

Can you remember the tittle of the email you sent.
I’ll get him to check his junk mail.
He mentioned he’d be pretty busy the start of this week finishing off a few bikes for the start of the race season..
