For Sale Rear shocks, monarch and ario

[ishaw]

A couple of minty shocks I bought while dabbling in full sussers. Hard tail is more my speed so have these very tidy rear shocks up for grabs.

Both are 195mm i2i (c2c). The monarch is 50mm, the ario 55mm, measuring the available shaft from can/wiper seal to the end of the shaft.

I've not used or even fitted these to anything since buying them, both seem to hold air and dials all work as they should..

After just £50 each Inc UK postage. No overseas as I've not had much success when buying or selling anything suspension related arriving at its intended destination.

Hi there,

How confident are you in those measurements? I ask as the monarch looks like the 10% sag indicator is slightly closer to the wiper seal than the distance between the other 10% gradations... Is it possible it's a 200x57?

If so, could you let me know what the compression & rebound damping tune is please (often listed in blue/red squares, or sometimes as a "compression tune" letter).

I'd love a rear shock upgrade for my 2010 Marin Attack Trail, but the suspension platform is quite fussy about fairly exact sag and compression damping so need to check these details first.

Thank you!

I'm afraid the monarch is as I've listed.

However, the ario does look to be 57mm. I'd measured with the sag o ring up against the seal, with that out of the way it looks to be 57mm from seal to end of air shaft.

There is no tune indicator on it, maybe it can be worked out via the serial on the can? I've done a quick search but only found it identifies the shock model. 39t10044362

That's really helpful, thanks! Is the Ario definitely a 195mm eye to eye (rather than 200mm) as well?

Finding it harder than I thought it would be to find a decent shock that fits!

Bump, looking for their next adventure, they've not had any excitement under my care.
