Paulfromfourways Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Hi Guys, Quick one. I saw an old giant anthem S for sale for 1 500.00 the guy says the rear shock would need to be replaced or 'recon done'. What does 'recon done' mean and what would I roughly be paying to replace the rear shock? Worth buying or keep looking?
BaGearA Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) A good 165 secondhand shock will likely be around 4000, fox is much more reliable than rockshox Rebuilding the bikes current shock if possible should be round 1600 Edited September 17, 2020 by BaGearA

Fox any day of the week. If it breaks, spares are available. If RS breaks, throw it in the bin. Hairy and MajG 2

droo Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Even if that part is a top cap for a Fox 36 Rhythm? That exists, it's just a matter of getting your hands on one... (You should get a call early next week, there's a shipment in customs) Rock Guy 1
