If it has seals - some of the old shocks just have a spring and elastomer rubber thing for damping.My first effort at a slatealike on a budget had that. When I got it apart all the foamy plugy bits had dissintergrated. It still kinda worked, and a new spring and damper helped,but it was a bit of pogo stick by design.
If you're set on a headshock, I'd really recommend getting an ultra DL or DLR as:
- when they work they are great.
- you can still get all the bits
- If you have the castle tool servicing at home is doable.
I'm not sure if the same is true of the 'Super' forks that came before.
Just had a quick look and I can't see any DL/DLRs online at the mo. Maybe set up a watch alert on eBay and see - I got mine for about £120 I think. It needed a seal change though and now works great.
- when they work they are great.
Huh, probably better than having been used for 16 years without a service. But yeah all the seals will be dead.
