    Im just happy theyre rebuildable, that was a big selling point for me

    It should also be noted in that 22k, they werent easy miles. I live down a mile of dirt/rock road so they get a workout everyday:D

    So, if I ever do such a thing, with my driving, 22K is about 5 years.... on mostly pavement! They should probably work like something I spent a lot on!

    Yes if you go this route i would expect them to last you a long time and they should perform great. I liked the idea of buying one set of shocks and just rebuilding them as needed and having better performance too. The upfront cost hurts, but if you can find a set used and get them rebuilt youd be in good shape

    Nice work Alex!

    That would be a trick, because used are usually not a good deal around these here threads! And then no warranty. It'd would be a ride quality thing, with a little nod to capability. But, long way off....

    Had dinner at Casa Rio tonight. At least I think it was Casa Rio. It was good whatever it was! There's so many restaurants and stuff it's hard to keep everything straight!

    Not sure on that one, ill have to get back with you on that:D

    Well i do drive exuberantly on occasion, but i think what killed the back shock are those dang firestone ride rites. The rebound i got with those with the camper shell on was hard on my back. It was like riding a bucking bronco on big dips in the road:bikewhoops:
