theshercorider Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Right, my rear shock has had it, it travels about an inch and then goes pretty solid. So i will be in need of a new shock but where from? how much? which one? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdeane01 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Buy the TRP shock (Jitsie i think it is also branded as). More expensive than the stock, but so much better. Plus they are rebuildable. Got one for myself and it has made a massive difference with shifting the rear wheel around and launching up rocks etc. Trialsendurodirect.com sell them i think. Or do a google search. In Australia they cost about $800au ($200 to rebuild as good as new) and i think a stock one is about $400, but not sure about the exact cost of a stock one.

gasgas4life Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Have you checked the bolt at the bottom of the shock to make sure its tight?? because if that loosens it can lock up the suspension. Also while your at it you might aswell grease the bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
