Any chance you can tell us what shocks they are? I looked around and the racing shocks are nearly a grand!

Well, how do they work?

Weldangrind · 06-10-2009, 11:53 AM

NEO, can you actually compress these ones? Is the reservoir fake like the stockers? Are they the same length as the stockers?

NEOPLAZMA · 06-10-2009, 01:54 PM

they are easily compressed, there is a blue shrader valve under the piggyback, just for kicks i did give the valve a quick press, there was air in em...but didnt wanna let out to much, im gonna use a digital tire gauge to see i can equal out the pressure, or completely deflate them to see if there is any differance in compression and or rebound.....at least they are adjustable via preload....once thats done ill top em off again with the air compresser...

Thanks for your reply NEO.

I recommend that you take the shocks to a shop and have them discharged and then topped off with nitrogen. It is less likely to cause a leak. Most bike shops (and even Costco) have nitrogen available.

Is the overall length the same as the stockers?

I have a set of these coming.
I'll post up a review once I start abusing them
