PappaBear Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 When it comes to front shocks, how safe is it to buy second hand? I'm thinking: R4000 for the new Reba SL vs R4500 for a second hand fox float..... mmmmmm
AndreZA Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I've never had a new Fox. The first 2 years old by the time I got and the current newer. Not a single days problems. But there is nothing wrong with the Reba either.
splat Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Isn't that Fox a lot bigger/heavier/longer travel than the Reba? Is it a fair comparison?

PappaBear Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 I don't know why I do this..... always get myself worked up over an upgrade, when I KNOW I shouldn't spend more on my bike...... especially since I got married and my wife's eyes are almost permanently rolled over..... She did say I can get another upgrade when I win a race...... thinking of enterering a 10km funride this weekend......
Moab Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 You know the answer! The Fox is prettier so get it already!
