Lefty Rebuild advice

[brisneyland]

Hey all,
Need some advice on a lefty rebuild. Found some needle bearings floating around in the boot and need to replace them - anyone here done it? Got a source for parts?

There's a local mob that can rebuild it but won't sell me the parts alone. I find this rather objectionable and would prefer to do it myself.

Cheers

http://rlcsport.com.au/ will either sell you the parts or service the fork for you.

^ that would be the local mob I mentioned above. Cannondale won't let them sell needle bearings to consumers. I was hoping someone else might have a source for them.

And RLC serviced this particular lefty (for it's previous owner) two months ago, and it's already shat itself. Make of that what you will, but I'd rather do my own work on my bikes.

heh, well there you go. I've purchased parts from RLC, but not the needle bearings (yet). FWIW I've seen both the bearing races and the bearings themselves on EBay but from a source in the US.
