We service virtually all brands of rebuildable dropper posts*, including Fox Transfer, X-Fusion MANIC, Manitou Jack, RockShox Reverb & Reverb Stealth, KindShock & 9Point8 posts. We can offer, where available, new factory parts or new aftermarket parts. Our range of dropper post parts can be purchased for at home service. To find out more about what can go wrong with your dropper post & maintenance requirements click here.
Servicing is performed by trained staff in a clean work-shop using dedicated tools and the best fluids for each application. Service costs are split into labour, fluids and parts. Dropper post return is via insured & tracked courier (Post Haste or NZ Couriers), pickup (if local or passing through Central Otago) or drop off (Alexandra/Clyde shops only).
We offer service direct to customers who are comfortable removing suspension & dropper posts from their bike. For locals we are able to remove suspension/droppers from bikes at our workshop (there is a charge for this - see dropper post labour pricing - Other Charges). We also work with local bike shops (LBS) - so contact them to book a Shockcraft service. When your LBS is servicing your bike is the ideal time to get your suspension or dropper post serviced too.

Lead Time & Service Queue
Our Service & Tuning Queue Counters provide an indication of lead time for jobs once they arrive at Shockcraft.* These timeframes update automatically depending on how many items are in the queues. Our live service queues are available for you to see how your job is progressing. When our queues are longer (>2 weeks) our Book Now, Send Later or Book Now, Drop Later service is a good option to shorten the time you are without your suspension or dropper post.
*Lead time is number of working days. This timeframe is true at the time of booking but can change quickly if we have a rush of bookings. We service and tune parts in the order that they arrive, unless the Book Now, Send Later or Book Now, Drop Later service has been used. Delays may occur if we are awaiting parts for service or repair. On our live service queues these jobs will be marked as position 0 in the queue. We will do our best to keep you updated if there is such a delay.
