G'day, Wondering if anyone out there also rides mountain bikes. I've got an ancient GT LTS-1 mountain bike with Rock Shox Super Delux rear shock. Unfortunately because the bike is so old (bought in 1996) the rear sock is stuffed and I cannot get a replacement, as most bicycle suspension manufacturers don't make a 5" long shock anymore (everything in market now are 6.5" in length minimum). Looked up Rockshox / Fox suspension website and no one seemed to make a 5" after market shock which will retro fit into my bike. The local bike dealers can't guarantee they can fix the old damper unit and I don't want to throw the bike away... Any sugguestions? Has anyone got experience in pulling apart an old Rock Shox rear shock unit? I think all I need to do is to pull it apart and refill it with suspension fluid but I don't know where to start... Also, wondering if anyone's ridden a GT ZR 2.0 road bike. I'm thinking of upgrading to this bike but nobody in Australia seem to stock one for me to test ride on...
