barfy Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Falcon shocks are excellent, but seven weeks is quite a long time. I phoned Falcon a couple of weeks ago about rebuilding my shocks and they seemed very off hand about wanting to do the work. I decided that it wasn't worth the trouble.

wayne_weedon Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Try Rockshocks. John Bull will also build to suit your weight etc, and supplies very quickly. Not Budget shocks though! Wayne.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spokerider Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I just got some NJB shocks for my Cota 348........yup, all the way from the UK. In Motion Trials shipped fast, but UPS tried to mail them all of the way back to the UK after they sat in their warehouse in my city no less, for 8 days. Nobody attempted delivery, nobody from UPS tried to contact me to inform me that the parcel was in, they just sat there. Couldn't get a straight answer from anybody when ased why. Was I p****d! Grrrrrrr. After complaining to UPS via phone calls x 4 days, I got them to turn the parcel around and ship back to me. UPS.......what a joke. I hear that Falcon are great shocks, and prolly worth the wait. Just don't get shipped by UPS , or you may never see'em, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcerem Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I ordered a pair of Falcon shocks for my Fantic 240 a month or so ago, and had them within a week. Was very impressed with the service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iruss Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 We were 1 day from going Rock shocks after waiting 7 weeks for Falcon's. (1 pair KT250,1 pair 348) Then it all came good and the shocks arrived in ozz a week later.(last week) Seems a good bloke but just in no rush! Ring rather than email! I believe the Rock shocks(Standard in Alloy) are cheaper if you compare against the alloy Falcons. But both are rebuilable and get good reviews.
