Ello all, its been a while, still riding my 99 FSR elite but not as much as i should be :/
Anyway i never found any bushes to fit my old RockShox Deluxe rear shock and the play was just too much
I refitted the old Fox Vanilla that came with the bike, bushes are great, no play at all but the rebound is poor, it feels like its either missing some oil or it has air in the oil, cant seam to work out how to service that one either.
I bought one of the cheap 165mm shocks from ebay just to see how they mount, they mount the same as that DNM/DMR version posted a few pages back, the bushes on that are horrible, its a simple sleaved bolt that slides through the shock, i expect it will make a lost of noise (i never bothered to mount it)
I did pick up a nice looking Fox Float R this morning from Gumtree for £40, it seams in really good condition but it did not have the reducer top hat spacers, couldn't find any on the net apart from the mojo website so i have just had to pay £30 for 4 new ones, grrrrrr.
