Newboy Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Is there any reason why I can not turn around the rear shock on my bike? The pro pedal switch is very close to my water bottle and sometimes I switch it by accident.
KnobbyMech Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I saw a lot of Tallboys in Hermanus this holiday with the shock turned around. Actually just turned mine as well. No problems.Only problem I can think off is that the oil will now not properly lubricate the sleeve/seal as it will drain down to the other (control) end. Will have to rest the bike upside down every now and then.
I FLY Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I have been riding my SC Superlight with the rear shock turned around for a few years. No problems.
Kranswurm Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I have been riding my SC Superlight with the rear shock turned around for a few years. No problems. I wish I could.Trouble is the bolt has seized and will have to be drilled out.........according to Mike at Mikes Bikes :-(
TNOSE_E Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I wish I could.Trouble is the bolt has seized and will have to be drilled out.........according to Mike at Mikes Bikes :-( The bolts that hold the shock to the frame? The bolts go into a threaded shaft from each side, are both sides seized?Surely one side should come out with some effort, I may even have spare bolts and shaft for you.
