    Monarch plus service/rebuild

    Thanks for the offer, I’ll let you know as I progress through the build. The bike is a bare frame right now, with some stripped bb threads I need to have fixed so it may take a while to get this sorted...

    Monarch plus service/rebuild

    So I’ve put on a new air valve assembly, pumped it up and confirmed no leaks. When I pump it up to 150psi I struggle to cycle the unit (clamped in a vice, though if I drop the pressure to around 80psi I can cycle it through its travel. When it’s compressing it does make a squelching sound...

    BB shell thread repair

    Thanks for the help so far team. As far as blind bearing pullers, is something like this good? https://www.cleanskinmtb.com/blind-bearing-puller Any other blind bearing pullers out there I should look at? I prefer to get the best tools I can afford, especially ones that I’ll use often.

    BB shell thread repair

    Apologies if this has been discussed before: my phone is a spud and the search feature doesn’t work for me on this site, on my phone. I recently purchased a 2nd hand frame and during the strip down portion of the process I removed the BB to find the drive side threads are in very poor shape...

    Monarch plus service/rebuild

    Thanks @dirtdad. You’ve given me some great info. Pulling the Schrader valve out today felt quite “notchy” and I’m wondering if there’s an issue with the threads. There wasn’t any swarf in the threads but it might be an issue with the existing valve core.... I’ll pop it back together tonight and...

    Monarch plus service/rebuild

    Thanks mate. I can’t see any damage to the damper rod or stanchion. I’ll give the air can seal kit a go and see how it goes...

    Monarch plus service/rebuild

    I’ve recently ventured out and bought myself my first full suspension frame, Banshee Rune, and was given a “damaged” Monarch Plus with the frame (for free). I took it as I want to learn how to service them myself and figured it’s already broken so I can learn in safety. The shock had lost air...

    Mills and Lathes

    I watched the lathe rebuild clip someone posted earlier after thinking “it’s only one clip: how much time can it take?” Now I find myself dabbling in all sorts of restoration clips; thinking of reasons to buy tools I don’t know how to use, to spend time I don’t have in order to “fix” things I...
