werd. its funny you know. i learnt the hard way. i was pretty naieve the guys like the shock is made and designed in japan etc etc the spring/body is taiwan to make it afordable bla bla bla.
i mean they cant evan get th surface finnish corect on the damper shaft its self. i had 2 lots of rears go in 6 months. by the shaft being to grippy and pulling the seal thru the top of the damper pissing oil everywhere lol.
i pulled them out and put in some heaps old blistiens and havent looked back since. its no longer a pogo stick. despite having the SAME springrates.
recently as per my earlier post. the curent tein monoflex is really good. just such a good feel.
