Quite disappointed to see that the paint on my Ohlins coil has cracked significantly in some places and fallen off exposing the metal (which has some surface rust now) anyone else experience this? Is it common?

I'll get in touch with them if course, just thought someone else might have some experience

How long have you had it? Not had mine long and no cracking yet but will keep an eye on it.

The coil's about 10 months old, maybe less.

It's likely to be powder coated - TBH, Ohlins coils are circa £50 so it might be worthwhile giving Plush a call, or getting it powder coated.

What length, weight etc:
I have 2 coils with just a few rides on them, needed to get different weights to find the right one.

Both yellow Ohlins coils from OEM equipment shocks on an enduro and a stumpjumper.
