Well I got my Fox podium put on along with my JB Racing Rear link. I made several laps at my local practice track As I was dialing it in. The shock started to feel great with no signs of anything wrong (Or binding). I overshot a pretty tall 60ft table and the shock literally sheared the shaft right in half. I don't understand what could cause this? Nothing was binding up that I could see or feel. The only thing I noticed was that the spring was rubbing on the shock body. I have never seen anything like this before...... I know of a few riders running this combo (Fox Podium/ JB Link) on their R, including Thomas Brown. Have you guys ever seen anything like this? I will be calling Fox tommorow and tearing into them... They will either replace it or give me a refund.
