Rear Shock

[accadacca]

It is time to upgrade. My shock has been leaking more and more air. I am tired of airing it up and I would like a lock-out lever. Here is my current setup. It looks like I need a 6.5 or 165 mm? I would like to find a closeout or last years model for maybe around 200 bones. I hear fox and cane creek are the best.

Opinions?

I've got a Fox RP23 on my Titus and it's been deadly reliable for the past 2+ years. I rebuilt it about 3 months ago and that cost about $15 and took all of 20 minutes, ridiculously simple compared to motorcycle shocks and forks. No idea how much they cost new but I have a brand new Rock Shock Minute (I think that's what it's called) sitting in the garage if you're interested.

I have a 2009 Fox RP23 that won't fit my new frame that I am looking to get rid of. I will have to go home and measure the eye to eye length on it though.........Plus, it would definitely come in under $200 if it'll work for you.

Used is good, as long as it doesn't leak air! Let me know, I like that Fox model. Let me know on the one you have too mxerhale.

Whacha got dood. I can pay you something at least.

RockShox MC3.3 - came with the frame so it's a few years old but never has had any trouble. You tell me what you're comfortable paying and I'll ship it to you

So mine won't fit your frame. But I saw this one on KSL:

Thanks for spotting that dood. It was a great deal that I couldn't pass up.

I suppose I should have mentioned my 15% finders fee......Nah, I'm glad it worked out for you. It looked like a killer deal.

[accadacca]

Thanks again. I should be set after a stop over at go-ride for some bushings. Then I can throw it on the garage for 3-4 months...

I got my new shock installed the other day. Boy have I been pleased. Sweet setup!

I read somewhere that the RPL it lighter then the RP23. If so...

You are going to like that shock. I also went with the fox 9 x 3.0 I had go ride weigh my bike and it shaved off 1/2 lbs. Now it is 47lbs.

very nice, gonna be nice and plush come spring or st george!

[live2ride]

you guys still have those shocks? I would be interested in getting a new one for my old trusty trek? gotta measure it tonight but it only has 3 inches of travel so it isnt too big.

[mxerhale]

Yeah, I've still got the Rock Shox. I guess I better go out to the garage and measure it.

[live2ride]

I will put a measurement up tonight of my shock

[mxerhale]

Okay I measured my Pearl 3.1, it's 8.5 inches from eye to eye. It's probably a little long for the shorter travel bikes that have been talked about, it's a spare that came with my Titus El Guapo frame that sports 165mm of travel!
