Which rear Shock on a K2/proflex 4000
« on: March 18, 2009, 09:57:10 am »
Well, its time to revamp my indestructible bike (k2/proflex 4000) and I am thinking on a new rear shock to replace the Noleen NR4 which is like a pogo stick now. Having so many choices now days, which is the one I need to put on the bike? Please think budget!.
Thanks!

Risse? Bit pricy - but very good.

It's an x fusion o2-r, 200mm eye to eye,a bit shorter than the nr4 original but I've never noticed the difference when riding.Lighter easier to tune,and no problems in 2 years,I like it. ;D
