Hello all. I bought a proflex 855 in 1995 and I love this bike. Like everyone the shocks need replaced. I want to get this bike back on the trails where it belongs.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks from Phoenix Arizona

Welcome.

My suggestion is modern telescopic fork for the front.

For the rear, a Risse Racing Genesis air shock.

Or you could just get new sponges.

Why not Risse Genesis front and rear? Although, an X-fusion Velvet up front coupled with a Genesis out back would be a pretty sweet combo.

Does anyone know the size of the frame headtube is?
1 1/8??

Rieese is perfect for the rear...

That Velvet is sweet if it works on my 855
