What's it worth :: Cane Creek DB CS?

[T-Bob]

Hey brains trust... 

 

just wondering what price range a second hand Cane Creek DB CS goes for here. It's a 2016 with the Climb Switch and has been serviced but not fitted since then. it's a 200x57 in VGC.

From what we have seen with reliability....About R50

There is some truth to that!

Best shock ever. I have one, never had a day of problems

They have had lots of issues with the cc db,hence the very low cost to do upgrade on the shock. It's seems a hit & miss and how lucky you are. But google the forums and see the issues ppl have had. And generally doesn't seem to last longer than a year before a complete rebuild. Read the forums and get an idea.

 

They have made major changes to the new shock,due to problems they picked up .

 

Having said that, when it's working it's apparently brilliant .

problems were mostly confined to the ccdb inline afaik. Tolerance issues in their production line were a problem, so they changed their processes. All is (now) fixed.

 

Bears mentioning that it's only the air shocks that were affected, and then only until they performed the abovementioned change.

I recently backed out of a deal on a brand new bike because it had the db inline ( not the cs) I did some research and it put me of completely. Even with the upgrade there were still copious amounts of failures and or problems.

 

Not sure about the cs but I do think I remember seeing similar issues but not really sure as I was only investigating the inline.

 

But as mentioned above do some research into the reliability and the said issues.

If that's not cc admitting a problem then I don't know.

The below pic is one of the problems and wasn't addressed in the upgrade only the new version.

Brains trust to the rescue! Thanks so much. I had read a fair bit but was still none the wiser as to if they'd sorted the issues with the rebuilds. CC have acknowledged that they had a massive QC issue but apparently all fixed. Hummmm.

 

Shame, I've since found out it's not going to fit so bitter sweet as it was going for £100 and would have been worth a punt.
