Bike shocks
 

ive been emailing a few bike shock suppliers to see is i can get anything cheaper than the £380 for them. Ive found ones suitable for the rear at £130 for the pair, but i cant find anything for the front at the moment.

Ive found 350mm(13.7in) centre to centre, 250lb springs, about 3.2 in travel in them and an OD of 2.5 in which i think is right. Would there be any reason why bike shocks would be inadequate?

Thanks

I think this was coverd a couple of weeks back and deemed unsuitable.

KPD are offering gaz units on ebay for £260 + 10 postage,

just had a look, but they only seem to have 175lb and 275lb springs on them which i would have thought would have been adequate.

They say that's the standard unless specified otherwise.

they can supply them to any length at that price aparently..

and it's £247 opening bid, or £290 BIN.

ok, ive asked the q and they can provide 350 and 250 at that price. Also i remember that someone said that with 13" ride height may be too low so i should get 14" eye to eye? Thanks

Not sure how good they are, always get mixed opinions on these sorts of things...

But the price is good!

ok, some good news, ive emailed them and thy are happy to supply all 4 shocks with 2@250lb and 2@350lb for £260 del out of ebay, but he will get back to me with the price for 1" top hats to make it 14" eye to eye.

ask about a groupe buy as well may get the price down more.
