noises from Astro 5?
« on: April 25, 2004, 09:28:46 am »
Hi,
those of you who have an Astro 5 installed on the rear end of  your bike, do you ever hear a kind of huffing sound while riding when the shock is going through most of its travel?
is this normal?
thanks.

Don't know if it's normal or not, but mine does it too. Never seems to cause any problems...

Matno, thanks for the feedback. I was hoping it wasn't only mine that did that.
btw, I love the way the bike rides with that shock. although I only had a few miles with the noleen, this thing seems to be faaaaar better.
