Last week whilst riding in France the rear shock on my 2008 Stumpy FSR
[ Fox Triad ]
Decided to blow all the fluid out of the rebound/lockout valve
Any thoughts on options for replacing it, bike will take a brain shock but I built it up in 2012 to be a light 120 travel bike so used a triad.
Cant decide new shock, brain sock or a service ?
Bos Vip'r is the best shock I've ever used, closely followed by a Pushed Fox. For comparison I've used most Fox Float/RP series, CCDB & CCDB air. I've never used a brain shock.
Absolutely love my Bos Vip'r too but I could't recommend it to anyone as Bos's customer support is so poor. They've been through 3 distributors in 3 years. No idea if their home support is any better.
Whats your plans for the bike? Is a long term prospect or just got a couple of years left? What are you doing with it and did the triad feel massively underperforming? I've used a variety of Fox RP2/3/23's in FSR frames and all have worked well.
Depending on your budget check ebay/calssifieds for something like that or speak to TF/Loco for their best options on new tuned to the bike (or retuning a used shock)

Mike I did a lightweight build, the frame was a crash replacement from Specialized so stuck some Rockshock forks on

Then XT 10 speed so its light and rides well mostly used for XC 12/24 hour events so its not been used that much, think it was the heat [34+] and hitting a lump with lockout till on.
There's a lot of life left in the bike for XC.
