GT STS-1000... Ready to ride
Finally got around to installing the new shock mount on my STS. The currently installed shock is temporary, for proof of concept only. It's too long and a bit bouncy. I've used some of the extra travel to set a greater unweighted height (= more sag). As soon as I get a 6.5 inch Float R (at least) at a reasonable price, I'll install it. I think maybe a RS Monarch may work too... depends on the chamber diameter.
I know Judys don't have the best rep, but I rather like them and intend to keep them. Any tips on maximizing their performance while minimizing their faults would be heartily welcomed.

Hmmm... mine was in pretty good condition when I got it, so no polishing necessary. I'd imagine you wouldn't want to do much more than clean it with a damp rag, maybe some mild soap. The surface of the thermoplastic is naturally textured, so you're never going to get a smooth, glossy look. If your frame's suffering from light scuffs, maybe some automotive wax?
