Used Rock Shox
I'm considering installing a pair of used Rock Shox on an older Rockhoper,
compliments of Recycled Cycles in Seattle. Is there anything to be aware of when buying a used suspension fork, such as these? Do they require maintenance, replacement parts, or do they just plain wear out? No sense in installing something that's already worn out. Thanks! |

Oh, I can insure you, there most certainly will be a *brake in period. Usually followed by catching some mean air! But I bought a new SID Team a couple weeks ago. I don't ride off cliffs or anything. I'm not a hammer either. It will hold up for cross country riding, right? |

Not at the moment, why?! I;ve had a set of Mag21's for 6 years now, and it took a Toyota minivan to finally break them. I put them through quite a bit with 2-3' drops and other punishment.. never had anything break on them. |

Of course it was well maintained. Not sure about this new fork though. Does not look as easy to work on. |
