Hello all.
After being bike-less for 10 years due to theft of components from our supposedly secure bike store when I lived in London, I have been re-building my old bikes. An old 26" On-One Inbred geared has been running as a thrasher/commuter for a couple of years now.
Now I am moving on to the GT LTS 1000DS frame that has followed me around for ~24 years, stripped down and un-ridden since about 2004 when I switched the components to the hardtail.
I wanted to send the shock off to RetroShox for a nice service but the bottom flange on the lower leg is partially burred/bent on one side (see picture)
The coil and retaining plate stay firmly in one position under compression and from what I remember it was always fine during riding. This is just something I noticed when I was fully stripping the frame down and I'd like to try and get it sorted.
So does anyone happen to have a broken/spare RockShox Super Deluxe shock sitting in a box somewhere that they would be happy to allow become a donor unit to re-build my shock?
I have seen a couple of Coupe Deluxe units going spare on ebay but it looks like the lower is slightly different design to mine so it wouldn't be a straight swap.
The option after that is the Risse Genesis which I have heard is an good upgrade on the original shock but my preference is to scavenge and re-build the original shock if possible.
Thanks!
