Rear shock replacement for the Brozz

Thebrozzanator · 09-02-2020, 11:42 AM

Ok so I seen this guy forget his channel sorry. Anyways he put this shock on but he had to flip it for it to fit properly. I did the same thing I have to say a huge improvement. It does raise the bike about an 1 1/2, almost 2 inches. Much better feel but now the front shocks feel like crap compared lol. My main question is will this hurt the shock by installing it upside down? Here's a link to the shock I used. https://www.amazon.com/WPHMOTO-310mm...NsaWNrPXRydWU=

From what I read from the Monroe shock company that single tube design shocks can be mounted either way. But, twin tube design shocks should not be mounted rod down. But, I also read that even mounting a single tube design upside down could over time create a dead spot up to an inch of damping. So, is that shock a single tube on Amazon I don't know. I would be shocked to know if i got this right!

Well I actually broke that shock the other day hopping over a little tree stump. It broke right where the upper mount on the spring is. So back to stock shock and man does it suck lol.

The stock one is back on. It just sits much lower now and barely has any rebound. I'm still going to be looking for a better aftermarket one.
