Super jealous of that DHO, I wish I still had my nos-ish frame and parts. Grrr

The right leg is a bit notchy part way through its travel, they also have a minor dent in the lowers I would have had to use some body filler on before paint. To top it all off the stanchion has what appears to be a 1 cm hairline crack where the bump stops would he. All In all a bit rough! Yet none of these faults were mentioned by the seller!

I always picture a dho with 151,s and d max's but as I had the big uns and a phatso, I had to use them.

Can anyone recommend a shock specialist that may rebuild the lobo pull shock? Mine doesn't appear to have much dampening. Not sure if this is the norm or weather it needs some love.

do it your self not that much too them for basic oil change (non nitrogen charged )
they use a 10x20x 7 oil seals x2 and 10x12x6 du bush x2 wiper seals hard to find tho

Nice, cheers for the info. Looks less of a headache than I thought. Do they normally have good dampening? Or are they a bit pogo like as the norm?

 

[woodsy666]

they should have good damping but the more rebound you add the more compression it adds too (unless you tweek valving ) mine if i wind rebound in a fully compress with no spring its hard to compress and on reboud cycle its very hard to pull to point i back rebound off couple of clicks.if you change oil check the anndizing in shock body to make sure hasnt been worn off

Finally got some time to get this finished. I reckon a ride to the pub is in order to do some well deserved staring!
