You could try Mojo - unlikely
or TF tuned in the uk (more likely)

otherwise it's Risse racing in the USA

I looked into getting an Alpes 5 rebuilt & found a guy advertising on Ebay from the States which had a total cost of about £70 inc postage both ways.

Couldn't find anyone in the UK interested :roll:

I didn't actually get it done as i got an air shock instead.

I had my ALPS 4R rebuilt by Risse Racing; US$114 for Rebuild Service & Shipping..

Thanks everyone. knew about risse , but didn't know they could or would rebuild my shock. mojo and tf didn't want to know .

I find this absolutely stunning. In my dealings with TF and Mojo, practically if it isn't current, they don't want to play and won't offer spares. Seems if there is any liklihood its knackered, the risk is too high, and it's a no-go.
Is all they do oil and seal changes, with no "engineering"??

Not sure that's the point of a Restoration tho

Kevin Risse suport all the "old" product that they have produced, and I've had results getting spares for old Boulder-bikes shocks, plus old Yeti shocks. He's busy tho', but keep trying. Website has the contact address.
