2 questions.. anybody have an old elastomer shock that would fit my 755? my elastomers are shot and the plastic spacers are cracked.
How much differently does a 957 ride compared to the 755?... I have a 957 built with a Noleen on the back and have been riding it for a few weeks... My 755 frame is in the garage and hasn't been built up for a few years.. From memory the 755 seemed to have a bit less travel and climb better.. I'm thinking of putting the 755 back together again...I loved that bike.
O.K. a 3rd question.. I want to buy another FS frame... It's down to a Carbon Fuel...Carbon Giant NRS or a Santa Cruz Superlight... which way would you guys go? thanks

Hi there. I think this shock will fit your frame if you have the world cup design (like the 855 and 856).

If you wanted to upgeade your vector 1 fork to a vector 2 fork, there is another auction on that would have all the parts for that.

the shock is for a fork or so the guy says..from memory the vector shock will be shorter than the rear shock....the 755 will be stiffer riding (cos of the elastomers)and lighter than the 957 cos of the 2 lbs extra in shocks and steel springs the 957 carriesI dont the the xt gears compensates enough for that....

Hi there. I emailed the guy and he was not sure what shock that is. But it definetly is a rear shock from an 855 and 755 world cup frame. The friction shock for the vector 2 fork is very different and can be seen in the other auction link I posted.
