Steve Yes, got you PM and emailed you at your aol account. I just tried again, and will PM you too. I'm keen to take up your offer. Richard

Thanks Hermit, that's exactly the set up that I have. I guess a one piece elastomer would work OK, or it might be possible to cut a one piece elastomer to produce a similar assembly to the original. Slim - do you think that what you have will work in this setup? cheers R

Hi Slim Do I understand correctly that you have a long piece of elastomer that you can cut to length? If so, I reckon about 50 cm would give me enough to spare. If what you have is the correct length for a Quadra 21R, that will be fine too. How much and how to pay? cheers R

Oh right, that's different. What I have is three pieces, separated by black plastic spacers. The idea was that the colour/density of the elastomer pieces could be mixed to "fine tune" the shock performance. I never noticed much difference though! I'm not sure now of the original total stack...

That's great. I should have thought to ask here earlier. As I recall there were different densities available, but I can't now remember what I was using, and I'll take whatever you have. I think 3 are used in each side. How much do you want for them and how can I arrange payment? cheers R

Thanks. New elastomers would be great. Does someone have some for sale? I've seen mention of an upgrade to non-elastomer inserts (Englund cartridges), but others have told me that these forks will only work with elastomers. Any advice? Fork bushings etc seem to be fine cheers R

Hi I'm trying to decide whether to sell or fix up my old Privateer. I still use it regularly, but the elastomers in the Quadra 21R shocks have crumbled to nothing, and I can't find replacements. And most of the components are getting pretty sloppy. The frame is sound. So, I have 2 questions...
