Christopher Brunsdon Posted September 6, 2010 Share So, what the verdict. After 3500km I'm wondering if my shock needs replacement? You tell me: (These photos where taken at 6 this evening) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Brunsdon Posted September 6, 2010 Share ... well I got a second hand Rock Shock Duke over the weekend so just wanted to check before I retire my old faithful. Perhaps I can pawn it on the for sale section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtb_Josh Posted September 6, 2010 Share and that, boys and girls, is why we should service our forks! I'll cry if that happens to mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted September 6, 2010 Share Actually I tried to avoid servicing them else they bottomed out all the time. The muck helped to create more friction and make the fork harder ... then again it might explain the extreme play on this set. The bushings where gone on these But I must say that I was impressed at how long these OEM crap lasted. Going to turn them now into a wheel trueing stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted September 7, 2010 Share Is that a Suntour fork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted September 7, 2010 Share Is that a Suntour fork? Yup, bleeding edge technology those XCMs. It breaks my heart to replace her as they don't make shocks like they use to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
