Anyone heard and have an opinion on a Rhino DXS Mountain bike.? Disc front
brake aluminium frame sprung seat post??? Where is it built supposedly??
Tks

Like the one that you bought for £60 on Ebay?

The fact that there was only one other bidder should be a major clue about
other folks' opinions I'm afraid.

It could have been built anywhere and Is a typical budget priced bike sold
by catalogues and BSO vendors.

If you Google for more information you will come across someone in Indonesia
(I think) that has one.

A seized front fork is not easy to service, and you won't be able to get
spares for that one. An LBS will probably want to replace it.

I suspect it'd be cheaper to replace it with a brand new one. Add in the
cost of fitting it to your bike and you might as well buy a brand new bike
thobut.

Wot Mark said. The fork repair companies that exist, such as TF Tuned,
won't touch that one. There will be no user serviceable parts in there.
Bearing in mind the rest of the bike's capabilities, my suggestion
would be to replace the fork with a rigid one rather than suspended.
Your LBS (Local Bike Shop) can do that. This will make the bike lighter
and more responsive, and frankly the rigid fork will work better than
any cheap suspension fork.

Cheapo forks are basically disposable - they aren't designed to be
serviced so parts and manuals generally aren't available, but they can
often be stripped, cleaned and lubed to restore smooth travel. You'll
probably need circlip pliers, but apart from that it's usually a fairly
simple exercise.
