Hi everyone. I am just getting back into bicycling. I rode basic non suspension mountain bikes way back in the day. I recently found a VGC 1999 K2 OZM with the cross link fork with the smart shock. Everything appears original.
Unfortunately I weigh in at around 260lbs and figure I need the stiffer springs. From what I have read I believe I need to find a NB2-650 for the rear and a NB2L-250 for the front.
Are these available? Is changing them out reasonably simple? Should I be replacing anything else with the shock while I am at it?
Should I ditch the original shocks and go with something different?
I would like to be able to ride the bike both off and on the road. Are there lockout options?
I appreciate any help you can offer!
Cheers

Welcome fellow Oz owner!
Noleen/J6 is still in biz and should be able to help you with springs. However I have gone to air sprung myself.
Do the smart shocks still work?

Yes the smart shock still works. Bike had been in a storage unit for some time. Looks like it saw very little use and no abuse. Everything is original and in good working order.
