what shocks!!?

[BLACKeR]

i know this can be a rough topic to bring up with so much brand loyalty and such, but i just have a couple quick querstions. i have a 250R and currently have WORKS tripple rates W/O ressies. i want a rebound and comp adj. fronts with ZPS/SSD etc. i have heard that you can get works re-built to have a simillar set up, is this true and is it worth it? i would like to get a pair of elkas or peps, but i see a lot of ohlins sell cheap, are they any good or is there a reason they are so cheap? i ride a little MX and mostly XC i need a shock that i can be adjusted to work descent at both. i am out riding the crap out of my WORKS and need new ones but dont really feel like blowign a whole lot of money if i dont have to. thanks in advance!!

Santo Derisi has a thing called the "Millenium Kit" for works shocks. I guess he revalves them and stuff and makes them like Peps/elkas... He is a suspension genious so check it out:

Santo's site (www.derisiracing.com)

id sell off the works and pick anyone of the top brand shocks that suit what you are looking for.

i was just stating that you're a stupid *** hole......that's all. just cause you're too scared to do tricks, don't mean you have to talk crap about people that aren't.

[BLACKeR]

who says im talking crap? figure skaters do tricks hockey players run into each other and compete in a more physical manner. only one figure skater skates at a time and then hes scored on his tricks, the figure skater that does his tricks the best wins. racers compete in a physical manner as well. races require endurance, and a lot of strength and your probly going to get run into, much like hockey. where as in freestyle, only one rider competes at a time. and there scored on their ability to do tricks. now please please tell me where im talking crap!? as for me being too scared, yeah your right theres no way im putting on those silly tights you freestylers have to wear.....or wait is that figure skating, i always get them confused...?

That was a lame point. You can't compare firgure skating to hitting a 100ft. jump and throwing a trick.

hockey is gay anyways. what are we, a bunch of lame *** canadians?

[manson98]

I don't know why not lets see you do a triple salchow. Thats pretty dam hard

[rebelbanshee]

He wasn't comparing FMX to figure skating... He was saying that comparing freestyle to racing is analogous to comparing figure skating to hockey. ;)

BTW, his reasoning is quite good. :p


Like quadracer04 said, give Santo DeRisi a call if you would like to stay with your existing shocks. He'll get them working great for you!

How do the fox air shox compare to all the coil shocks?
