Found - Rear Shock

[851neil]

I'm still chasing after a new rear shock ! just had confirmation from Maxton that mine is jim rucked, so I'm well and truly stuck now.
Any help at all in sourcing a new shock would be greatly appreciated - hopefully I can get one sorted before the weather totally disappears.
btw Harris said they could get Ohlins to build one up for me but it would be neck end of £500 :o
It would be good to add to the 260 miles totted up since her rebuild :burn:

I've, managed to get hold of a used one from fleabay thanks - not sure what it's going to be like, but it's an Ohlins & I'm hoping that I've not thrown money away.
cheers

Received the Ohlins shock yesterday - opened the box and it's mint, no worries, fitted her up last night and took the bike for a good run out today.
yeeeeehah

The only issue is that there isn't a screw fixing for the remote reservoir - the old marzocchi item had a couple of mounting points onto the subframe. Any suggestions or am I resorting to zip ties ??

Scuse me ignorance but wot do you pump the stock shock up with?

I was filling it with air but I'm sure maxton told me to use nitrogen, but I use that in the garden.

Help would be appreciated

I've been told to use air - but Nitrogen is a great idea it'll be much more stable with varying temperature extremes, hadn't thought of that one till now...
