Despite my loving maintenance routine* my rear shock has some issues
It packed up on Garburn descent and basically it feels like the wheel has hit a big rock square on and you will get a puncture – big hit clunk feel
On the up – well I had to ride home it pogos on the slightest bump
It is also covered in oil
It still holds air as i checked that
Now even my limited ** mechanical skills realise its broken so the questions are
1. Likely cause?
2. is it worth fixing?
3. Can I do it myself
Many thanks
* it is not broken do nothing to it
** they are not actually limited but I decide the cost of a service was sufficiently high I would ride it till it broke – this was 5 years
