New air canisters are available - maybe the end of this year!
So multi adjustable at every level - but made of cheese
I need a 190 x45 rear shock - as bulletproof as possible. Suggestions please...

According to TF tuned my Cane Creek DB is fucked - the air canister shows signs of wear etc ...

Oh arse.
Since going coul I've been happy, less to go wrong I think.
Mine is the Marzochi Bomber CR if that helps.

Re: Arse buckets: New rear shock needed
Bummer, my Enduro used to eat its CC inline, despite it having the modified internals. The Fox X2 isn't much better, I don't think the shocks like the side loads the trunnion mount places on them. Sorry, not much help.

Re: Arse buckets: New rear shock needed
Had a long chat with a guy at TF Tuned. Good thing was he thought it was a rocket shock - so 200 x 50 , not a 190x45 - that means he does have a new air can , so all is good.
But he did say that Cotic Rockets are going though air cans at a rapid rate - so hence the stock issue.
Also talked to Cotic - who said that coils cannot be used with Cotic frames ( or rather shouldn't be).
They suggest Fox DPX or a RockShox DLX
(TF Tuned were not flattering about RS rear units)
So it appears that it hasn't failed this time ....

Why no coils?
Good news it can be sorted. Getting back tomorrow?

Re: Arse buckets: New rear shock needed
I suspect it's to do with not being able to get the rising rate required unless you buy a rising rate spring!! Most have a linear spring and the frame will probably designed with the ramp up of the air shock in mind.

Re: Arse buckets: New rear shock needed
Yeah I hear you. I do wonder how many of us in the real world would even notice or care at our skill. Assuming both were set up correctly, would we, hmmm
