4PT rear shock
 

Hey Everybody! Me and the missus have a 4PT each, but she hardly rides hers, whereas I commute and ride a lot. Her bike feels springy and new (10000 miles on the clock), whereas mine doesnt (20000 miles on the clock) I'm also a lot heavier than my wife. What can I do to get the spring back in the bike? Is there a shock upgrade for the 4PT model? Is there a heavier duty spring avalible? Hagon has a whole new unit, for about 300 quid. Anyone got any ideas that arnt so expensive? With thanks

Hagon make adjustable shocks for the XT600E...

Tell them your weight, riding style and they will put the correct spring on for you too..

In your pricerange too.

Also, there is a brand out there call "TMX"...

They were previously known as "Technoflex" but were bought by GM and renamed to "TMX"...

They can even make you a custom build one...but it also ain't cheap....


Vando :cool4:

Wilbers makes some for 200-400ish euro depending on the model.

I have yet to find a supplier for xt springs.

Have you tried to tighten up the preload on the spring? It should help.

Dave Lambeth sells springs for XT stock rear shocks in various strength's/load ratings. Failing that you could have one made to order.
