Yeah, if I bust my suss so bad on a trip somewhere I'm either racing in which case I'll bodge it or quit or if it's a tour thing I'll buy a new fork or take one off a hire bike until the other one can be fixed. Lugging £1000 worth of tools around MTB parks >>>
This is my thinking, and why I get my suspension serviced every year in the hope and expectation that it won't blow up. I do, with that said, have a spare rear shock - maybe that should make it into the spare parts box next time I travel.
I have been wondering about trying the Cane Creek Helm v2 Coil, which has the advantage that whilst you can blow the damper up you have to be seriously unlucky to FUBAR the actual coil, so you can always finish the ride (albeit bouncily) whereas an air-spring failure is going to be more of a pain.
Dammit-
That's not a bad idea. You're obviously far more likely to explode your suspension doing Enduro stuff compared to my
gravelxc stuff. -
Carrying a spare shock is probably excessive after I've just got through your tool list and you don't seem to have any chain related tools? No chain splitter and no quick link pliers?
