Hello All
I recently procured an old Cannondale Jekyll and will want to (in the near future) replace the old shock with a newer version.
Question is, how do I go about ensuring that any replacement will fit?
How/What should a measure to ensure a safe fit?? 😕
I am sure the orginal travel was 5" and reckon on this being fine for trail riding and b*ggering around with different types of riding 😉
Any help gratefully received.
Thank you kindly
Benjamin
the shock is bespoke
the one on chain reaction is for the older model of Jekyll pre 2003 IIRC
Oh! So does that mean that I cannot change or replace the rear shock on the bike??
Thank you for the reply
Ben
you might be able to find some lurking somewhere on the t'interweb, if I could I would look at using a "right" length shock and swapping he air can with the threads over
which shock do you have?
if you have an RC you can get it PUSHed by TF which transforms the bike as it gets rid of a lot of pedal bob, it's a service and probably a new shaft? which is probably £130 these days
Having recently got the bike and being stuck in Dublin Airport until Friday - I cant recall but am sure it is a Fox RL.
All of teh searches I have done on T'internet seems to point at the shock being bespoke for the Jekylls. What a strange thing to do!?
I might have to look at getting it 'Pushed' or a TF service of some sort though it seems ok for now so will juct wait and see.
Thank you all
Ben
It is bespoke in that the mounting trunion is a one off - the rest of the shock is a most fox shocks so it can be rebuilt - mine needed a new shaft last year and it was £120 all in for that and a service at TFT.
Out of interest, how much did you pay for the not sure what to ask for mine if I split the bike....
