    Sounds like Fox might want to bring it inhouse.

    So you can no longer get your Fox, the forks with the shortest service interval, 'officially' serviced....great!

    There's a few manufacturers that have tried that in other sports (JP/Neil Pryde, Naish and others in windsurfing) that have watched their market share just die on it's ar5e. This whole idea of direct distribution looks great on a spreadsheet but doesn't work in reality.

    May impact after market sales, but won't impact OEM sales and they are the vast majority.

    Ok, so that makes my post irrelevant. It's clearly just that they felt that there was something to be gained by changing.
