I've almost been going round in circles trying to get some elastomer's for my Proflex 455. So thank you for this great site and friendly helpful souls for their help and assistance. I hadn't realized that 'elastomer' is just a fancy name for rubber! Any way thanks to SLIM for passing on some spares he had , they pretty much do the job.
On another note i tried the old microwave trick on my old rock solid yellow elastomer's, left them in the microwave on full power for about 10 seconds, this worked and put the elasticity back into them (they can really bounce!), unfortunately i would not recommend this trick because they do not have enough rigidness in them to be useful. I'm now having to leave them next to the window so that they can stiffen up a little and see if i can maybe try them again 6 months from now.
Any way here's a few photos of my bike overhauled. The Front shock is a Rock Show 'Dart 3', new gel tech seat and a new disc break attached to front with a matching set of Mach 1 wheels.
