Paulfromfourways Posted September 17, 2020 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted September 17, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox any day of the week. If it breaks, spares are available. If RS breaks, throw it in the bin. MajG and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted September 17, 2020 Share Even if that part is a top cap for a Fox 36 Rhythm? Yes, the standard one might also work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted September 17, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
