figgy Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Have a look on the rapid owners website or Facebook page. A few on there are very good at servicing and tuning them. Bet Taylor was one of the original designers and owners of rapid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid .25 Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 If you weren't so far away I'd have done it for you gladly, as you can tell by my username there a bit of a passion of mine and I always service my own, hope you get it sorted but don't pay over the odds as rapids are not difficult to service, atb Ian.

Kev1gun Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I can Confirm Pete or Bucketboy is at least equal to Kev g and is a decent bloke to Boot, i was there on Sunday dropping off my Vendetta blocks for him to work his Magic on. If you go on the rapid7ownersclub.co.uk forum Join up with an intro and ask bucketboy, he'll sort you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 The R7 is quite easy to service yourself, it a simple matter of replacing the O rings, these can be bought from most suppliers. The only ones that wont be are the white seals. I could never see how they charged the price they did for a few O rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
