my Pyga came from there and my shock is with Louis but it cannot be fixed.  He has a downgrade option for me

Wayne why not use Aramex Global Shopper to a local German address?

tried all the german sites - of course some won't ship Sram to SA - ideally I'd like a fox option but at this stage I'll take anything.  Droo from Stoke is checking if he can repair one he has for me but now I feel like I need a spare

Yes this is the next costly step - double vat will hurt 

most irritating  is that there is no fox option anywhere - only pre 2017 fox works - locally I can get the 184 x 44 evol but this version bangs up against the frame 

so annoyingly I now have to import a shock I don’t really want 

all makes me love my gravel bike more

What about getting a 190 x 45mm metric shock and use offset bushes to "shorten" eye to eye to plus minus 184mm?

AVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - PAIR OF OFFSET BUSHINGS

• 6mm diameter - 3mm offset each, ~ 1.5° head angle adjustment.
• 8mm diameter - 2mm offset each, ~ 1.0° head angle adjustment.
• 10mm diameter - 1mm offset each, ~ 0.5° head angle adjustment. 

So depending of shock hardware (probably 6 or 8mm) you can get between 4 and 6mm in total "correction"

Ok so I understand this to a point and I’m going to chat to someone bike smarter and see - thanks for the advice

This could be an option. Not too pricey either:

SR Suntour RS19 EDGE LOR rear shock Imperial order online (starbike.com)

and miracle of miracles they have stock, I wonder if it's decent

I managed to find an older neat fox CTD via Droo - Cogent industries have it and just checking it's all good  - I'll still get a back up and anyone with a stage should consider getting a spare

Matthew which one exactly? What year model ? Any chance you kept the box where all the codes are - Is it not knocking at the top - thanks

This isn't an option. Aramex don't help with the package until it's reached them, and bizarrely a lot of european import duties are paid cash to the delivery driver upon delivery. So i've had a few items return to sender as I couldn't use my euro aramex forwarding address as there was no way to pay duties. Lame!

Thanks but that’s what I’m trying to get away from

How long have you had it? Regularly serviced? Come to think of it, mine needs a service.
