Re: Risse Genesis for LTS 97
I just looked at pics online and you'll kick yourself ...
you just unscrew the trunnion ring and fit that first, then screw the body back on and fit the bottom pivot bolt last.
(Assuming you've got the gt one and not the cannondale one which looks a bigger diameter)

I am planning to put one together soon, and rather than upgrading the spring will probably go down the replace with an air shock, got too used to having rear lockout to live without it now.
Will report my findings when I get on with it. Could be a while.

I did buy the simple Risse solution for my lts 1000. Apart from the bottom support spacing that was 3/4" too shallow, the shock was great! For the first 4 miles. Then I heard a disturbing PFFFFFFSST and found my bike in a puddle of oil that originated from the Risse shock. What a bummer. Luckily they come with a one year warranty. However, after two and a half weeks since my email reporting this issue, I have not heard from them. Anyone's others experiences would be a welcome addition, as I hope that I am just being unlucky in all aspects with them.
Besides that: has anyone done some really hard riding and for some distance too, with the brass inserts?

I bought my STS with original RS Deluxe shock :
..then I have installed a Fox Float RC from a Jekyll :
...and today I ride with Risse Genesis :
I am happy with the Genesis, which is as light as Fox (around 300gr), works smoothly and quietly, and look great.
Of course, the Fox have lot of tuning possibility, but I am not gifted for shock tuning..
I confirm that Risse trunion is a little bit difficult to install between suspension arms, but it's possible, I done it.
I am interested by your metallic chips, how much do you sell these ?

I run a 97 rear on a 96 front.... all running on bearings.. bar Horst link... top alloy link was ground to be a bit wider to fit then made fit with old pivots and washers and bearings... used it for 7 years faultless...
