[Closed] PSA: Fox Kashima RP23 190X51 £138 on CRC

Anyone know what tune they are?
I tried to ask but they haven't a clue. Just keep on about the external adjustments.

I've never understood why people think having a shock custom tuned is a selling point? Unless whoever you're buying it off is the same weight and has the same bike & riding style as you. Or am I missing something?

Can anybody give me a reason not to buy one ? Turner 5 Spot DW

Why cant they have a 6.5 inch one? How annoying!

Sounds like a reason not to buy it 🙁

Would have been nice if they'd had 200 x 57

Aaarrrgggh, they do

Actually no they don't, phew

I have the same bike Neil, and would buy one myself but DW 5 spots need low/low tunes.

Med/med tune it seems. Gawd knows how much it costs to revalve. It's a nightmare getting an answer from tuners. Even loco responds very slowly.

Ahhhhhhh Fuuuuuuuuu!!!

Just bought one for £95 second hand 😥

£40 at Mojo is its unridden.

Am tempted if £40...would like confirmation?

Call Mojo and speak to Mel, i had one done18 months ago, i called them not long ago as i was going to get my Van RC done.

Even loco responds very slowly.

Only after a few beers 😉

Seriously though, just give him a bell and he will give you a price and good advice.

Plus you can poke fun of his gert lush accent.

I will try phoning both tomorrow

Sorry if we've been a bit slow it's been a manic week catching up after the snow, half tempted to buy a few for spares at that price!
Tunes are £30 for an unused shock, we'll be in from 1000 tomorrow as have a meeting first thing so any queries give us a call.
Rickon you're one to talk accent wise :-p

is it possible to limit travel on these (say, to 40mm) ?

I gambled on a PUSH'd RP23, it worked out well but even if it hadn't, a retune would still have been cheaper than getting it done for me on a standard shock. And also people were impressed by the sticker 😉

Yes travel can be limited to a certain amount, eye to eye can be reduced as well instead of offset bushings too .

Yes and I need to get some funky 'tuned' stickers made up too!

Reckon one of those would improve an '04 classic blur?

Why so cheap anyway? 65% off 2012 prices?

I have sexeh Flotec ones on my Revelations. And Ohlins ones on my rigid forks 😉 But yeah, stickers improve the damping.

I bought a second hand Orange 5 that came with a CCDB, always fancied a rp23 for doing Tour de Ben and similar type rides. Can someone tell me if the med/med tune will be ok for my bike please.

Is 190 x 51 essentially the same as 190 x 50? I know its 1mm out by will it make any difference in real life use? Horst Link 5 Spot...

Thank you loco, mind made up 🙂

Be aware! My friend bought a said to be kashima shock off crc recently and everything from the description and picture you would think you will get a kashima shock turns out they are selling the factory evo shocks not kashima ones!

Surely that's a mistake on CRCs part....has he contacted them?

Yes and they have him £60 off the cost in crc vouchers

Almost worth buying and hoping the wrong one turns up.

In fact I just did. Should get £60 for my old shock on eBay. Result..

Any idea if one of these would fit in a Trance X 29er? 120mm travel. I have literally no knowledge of rear shocks!

I was working near Mojo and they just tuned my second hand CTD for 40 notes. Thanks 🙂
Completely different shock now with M Rebound, L Compression 225 boost, and a medium spacer.

^Edit F compression^

Mine arrived, it is Kashima but none of the settings were the same as described and it came with 1 set of tophats.
Its obviously been taken off a bike.

Most likely it's OE, destined for a bike, but never happened and CRC bought them up in large quantities.

Are you surprised by this?!

Well that's utter bollocks. Mine turned up this AM. Nice Kashima coat, and even got the XV version when I thought I was getting a standard can. Even cam with nice bushings already fitted. Thanks CRC. Twonk.

Anybody measured the tophats to see what size these came with? Have one on the way.

Neiloxford can you bung me an email as want to send you some info for the shock and the turner. My address is in my profile. Thanks

They are Medium/Medium - Appear to be OE models as it came in a clear plastic bag not the material one, comes with a manual and that's it as I have purchased one! 🙂

If your bike has 190mm x 51mm what are you waiting for?! 🙂

I thought they were meant to go down 15% every day at 11am? They have not today 🙄

Still a great price though.
