So, in the market for an air shock for my SC Nomad - currently have a DHX Coil, but I have a very XC holiday coming up so i'm on a weight drive.
Was going to get a Fox Float, but having investigated they appear to cost a fortune, so i'm reluctant to splash the cash in these credit crunch times...
So anyone used a RS Monarch, Bikeradar reckon it's good, but I'm concerned it may not be reliable - not what I need in the outer hebrdies...
So is it cack?
I've got one (165x38mm). Best shock I've ever had. no problems so far.
no problems with the 4.2 i am using
Only ridden one for about 10mins, it felt ok, but nothing more. However, I did ask TF why he didn't sell them anymore -- he wasn't too complimentary.
I'd leave the coil on the Nomad and save weight elsewhere.
You're picking the wrong bike to send on a crash diet, MTFU and ride it as it is! 😉
twohats - I am losing weight else where... it currently weighs about 36lb. Want to get that down to about 30-31 lb. I've got 500 quid and a pair of XT cranks to throw at the problem. I don't weigh much, and don't really 'go large' very often - air shock seems like a easy win.
losing 5LBs is a tall order - whats the spec?
I have a sh dhx air for sale
