Leaking fork oil after only 500 miles

I sent my forks off to this company last July (2023). They had them 7/8 weeks before being returned. Cosmetically they looked ok. Between putting them back on my bike and April this year (2024), I had only clocked up around 500 miles before one of the forks started to seep fork oil. It started slowly but gradually got worse. Rather than take them back off and send them back to Philpots I took my bike to a local garage. I had the seals replaced on both forks and was informed by the garage owner that all kinds of debris came out with the fork oil, there was pitting on the forks suggesting that they hadn't been skimmed properly, one fork was slightly oval and they certainly hadn't been cleaned out prior to reassembly.
Needless to say I'm not impressed with Philpots and will not be using or recommending them in the future.

not good

They rechromed my stanchions and powder coated sliders. I rebuilt the sliders, put in new seals and bushes, but stanchions showed oil from the start. What is it? Dimensions ground wrong? Powder coat lifted after a year. Sliders were not primed before powder coat applied. You just go through so much effort and then these folks just give you crap job. Dont send your forks to them. it is much much better to pay more to a reputable shop and get a quality work done.

Rubbish!

Sent front forks for stanchions to be rechromed and sliders to be powder coated. Was told the work would take 6 weeks. After 8 weeks passed I phoned them and was told it would be another week. Two weeks later the forks were returned. Unbelievably bad! I thought they took so long because they were really good. The powder coating was abysmal and in places was still tacky. Inside the stanchions were still coated in grinding residue.
I immediately complained and sent them back to Pitted forks.com. I was called by the manager who far from apologising called me a liar! Told me they would get the work put right within the week. It turned out to be two weeks.
Returned in a clean condition this time but the powder coating is still useless. It is already coming off in places. Can't believe that they can't get it right. I've had other parts of the bike done locally and they are perfect. I'm just going to write this off as a bad experience.
Pittedforks.com. alias Philpotts Hard-chroming will never see my money again!
