marky g Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) Buying a pair of rear shocks for my TY175, I don't want to spend the earth on a pair but in the same breath I want a decent pair. NJB Expert Shocks seem to fit the bill Edited January 6, 2005 by Marky G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 From what I saw last year the sections are just right, not Shock snapping stuff anyway's (sod's law I'll be eating my words on the 13th Feb ) Just to throw a spanner in the works I put a hefty bend in the rod of one of the Falcons on my Ossa at the Torridge round in 03 - some fairly juicy rocks in that round. Bootle and the Hillsborough round have some fair rocks in too, although at Bootle, it is more likely that if a rod is going to get bent it will be crossing the moors if you're motoring a bit, rather than in a section. I haven't bought any Falcon trials shocks for a while, but last year I bought a pair for a Bultaco Pursang. These cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
