grib Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The listing says they have only been used a couple of times; if its true then it doesn't sound that bad to me, not exactly a bargain but saving a few quid might be important to the person who bought them.

b40rt Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 True, but for them to work at their best they really would have to go a bike with similar geometry and have a rider of the same weight etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 "For auction - 1 pair of Rock Shock trials shocks. Used only a couple of times. These are 360mm long and have heavy weight springs (poss 70-80lb) however the cost of replacement springs from John Bull at Rock Shocks will be much cheaper than buying complete shocks. I have no reserve so grab a bargain " 70-80lb springs !! I'm 13 stone and use 50lbs springs on Rockshocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grib Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I agree they are of limited appeal but if the buyer; 1) Wanted or needed to save a few quid, and 2) Is a bit of a porker then he hasn't done too badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grib Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 But if he's a porker and the springs suit him he's saved £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stroke4stroke Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Certainly makes £100 for a brand new set of Marzocchis look reasonable indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
