Kindshock KS A5-RR1 ~ anyone used one of these?

[greatwhite]

Hi all,

 

Has anyone had any experience with the KS A5 shock ~ preferably the RR1 variant, but if not also the cheaper RE variant?

 

Thanks

I must say the following from the website does not inspire confidence in me personally "Use CITY BIKE / TREKKING / LIGHT XC"

Did a quick search and couldn't find a review for it. Only mention was for a build on a kids bike.

Yep. The only KS I trust is the one which makes the saddle go up and down. Thanks for the loaner btw

 

How is your Lev?

The Lev is great, thanks. Glad I could help with the dropzone.

Yep, that is why I ask. No reviews. I did speak to the ks agent locally and comment was that was essentially a basic low cost solution.

 

My interest is for a kiddies bike where I want a low cost simple unit that replaces the existing spring. It is also the only unit I can find that fits the 125mm crs on Scott spark jr. We'll see how Jr gets along with the spring before taking the plunge on this though. If the bike gets used extensively these sort of mods might be considered. Thus far the only mod has been to change bar and stem that dropped 300g out of the bike weight. I'm keeping the old bar in case I need some plumbing pipe, or a weapon to deal with home invaders.
