Title: New guy in town Looking for help with Razorback project
Post by: swamp monkey on March 03, 2014, 02:04:24 pm

Hello     Newbe  I have a K2 Razozback frame. I want to put on the trail. Rear noleen is shot. So lets start with that. Is it worth or can it be rebuilt ? Thanks for your time

depends upon which Razorback it is.

Push shock or normal compression shock?

Piccie would be good.

dunno too much about Razorbacks, but I'd guess the push shock could be a challenge to repair/replace, but the normal e2e compression version should be a doddle to find a suitable modern replacment.

Is it one of these?  http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/bik/4352328976.html (http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/bik/4352328976.html)   I see the shocks on ebay occasionally.  Also J6 has a rebuild kit available cheap.  http://shop.noleenj6.com/product.sc;jsessionid=C329335A14A7D4903AA21F06273CAF22.m1plqscsfapp05?productId=29&categoryId=6 (http://shop.noleenj6.com/product.sc;jsessionid=C329335A14A7D4903AA21F06273CAF22.m1plqscsfapp05?productId=29&categoryId=6)

Cool! I wasn't aware of the rebuild kits. Anyone got instructions for using them?

Step 1: Send shock to Noleen J6.
Step 2: Wait a month.
Step 3: Remove rebuilt shock from mailing box and install on bike.
