The pofmuis Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I resently bought a DT Swiss xrc100 shock. I had a Rock Shox Reba SL on my bike and that was smooth. I then bought the DT and i won't lie, it was like riding a rigid. I had the air pressure on 90psi, for my weight i should have it on 110psi. The shock was sticky and i was ready to through it way even though it was just 3 months old. Then i took my DT to Andre Cordes, owner of Epic Sport in Doringkloof, and he did something to it but now it is as smooth as a Rock shox Boxxer. Andre is a shock Whisperer. He is also not just good with servicing any shock but he is also a great bike mechanic. I can highly recommend that you should take your bike to epic sport for its next service!!!
Vivster Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 How does the price of DT Swiss compare to Rock Shox?
The pofmuis Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 SA retail: DT swiss is about 14k and the rock shox is about 8k
Weight Weenie Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Don't you find the dt flexy with lots of brake dive? What do you weigh if I may ask Seale ?
adogshow Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 it costs more than my car! just kidding, but more than my old car!
