Installing rear mountain bike shock
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Installing a new, old stock Fox Float RP23 rear shock. Instead of eyelet reducers I used a low friction TFTUNED mount kit. The mount kit is for a 12.7mm (1/2") eyelet with a M6 through hole and has a 22mm width. The Turner Sultan frame is designed around a M6 by 21.8mm width. I removed 200 microns using a flat. The shock's length is 7.5" eye to eye with a 2" stroke. The mounting kit contains one aluminum mount pin and two-piece low-friction blue polymer bushing, with spacers and rubber seals. One shock requires two kits. I have never used this kit before and I hope the the pin will move more freely with the low-friction surfaces compared to the standard eyelet reducers as stated on the company website.

I have a chance to buy a remote fox shock. Eye to eye is 6.5" my anthem is 6". Do these need to be compressed without air to work with my giant anthem 1. The guy I'm buying it from says fox rep said it would work with his newer anthem than mine. I know it can be made to fit but won't sacrifice travel or performance. I have a remote on fox fork that I love.
