Nothing to do with buggery

The rear shock has given up on my Scott Strike. It is a year 2000 model. I am not near the bike so can't measure the shock length but I am sure you clever lot can work it out.

What shock would you recommend for less than 250?

Your old post says the shock is a 165mmx38mm

If I were you I would find a second hand Fox vanilla coil shock and buy a beefy spring for it to suit teh rider weight ;). Less to go wrong then.
