Have a 755 and would like better rear suspension
« on: January 18, 2012, 07:16:14 am »
Well as the title states I have a 755 and would like some better rear suspension for the bike. I have a Marzocchi bomber up front and it works great but the rear with new elastomers is well just ok. Is there and upgrade that I can use to improve the rear end of the bike?

have a dig around on the forum; loads of info on this subject; you have a few options that are wallet and mechanical aptitude dependant!
e.g.
ODS with coil
NR-2
Risse
custom converts to standard e2e shocks.
