keith Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 If I had to upgrade my 2008 Rock Shox Recon SL 80mm, what would be my next best step?
droo Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 How much travel do you want / need? I'd look at a fox f100, but I'm biased cos I like fox.
turtlek Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Kieth upgrade the internals on that fork to the reba internals and effectively you will have a reba fork i have done it to my buddies reba and it is as smooth as any reba off the shelf
leet22 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Could 1 update a Rock psylo shock or is it better to buy a new shock?
keith Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 @droo: I'm looking for 100mm. The Fox f100 looks great but out of my budget I think. @turtlek: I'll do some research into that if I can't find one I can afford.
turtlek Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 kieth it is relatively cheap and easy to do as well so let me know if you want/need some help
parabola Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 turtlek please could you provide some more information on this, I have a 2008 Recon Race and would be interested in upgrading to the Reba internals.parabola2009-03-27 05:14:54
keith Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 Turtlek maybe you could start a thread on it? I'm sure a couple of people would find it interesting!
keith Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 So this is an option. R3800 on CRC. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Original/31919.jpg
turtlek Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Turtlek maybe you could start a thread on it? I'm sure a couple of people would find it interesting! good plan i would need a recon shock to be able to do it so i can put it up step by step with pictures unfotunately i only have a sid WC and a tora so if anybody would like me to service thier recon and upgrade it i will not charge labour and it will only cost you the parts that we would need to do it and a box of smarties to keep yourself busy while watching
turtlek Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 kieth thats a great buy but what aboutthe one on here for R3500 i saw earlier
keith Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 It was from Spamela, and from everything going around today I'm not so sure.keith2009-03-27 05:29:25
droo Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I might know someone who's got a 2nd hand one, will see him on the weekend and update on monday. Quality is pricey, unfortunately
turtlek Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 ya that might be dodgy but seeing as i have also heard a lot of good things about spamela in the past couple of hours maybe he is not as dodgy as originally thought
