Happy Saturday everyone !
Hoping you can advise , looking for some replacement elastomers for my Quadra 5 Rock Shox . They're 155mm long and sort of bluey purple if that's any help . This has probably come up time and time again so forgive me if you've heard it all before :roll: :facepalm:
Thanks in advance for any help :wink:
Mike

Thank you , been cleaning them up today and they came up really well so id like to keep using them .

I think the spring idea may have a bit of a pogo stick effect , but thanks for the suggestion anyway :wink:
 
Do they have to be elastomer's?

I don't know much about Quadra forks but maybe these would fit

Softer springs also available

Do Quadra forks have a separate shock absorber/damper mechanism? If not, surely springs alone would make the forks act like a pogo stick. :?

Yo mike, combining spring and elastomers will give better suspension but retain some damping... Bike forks don't need much damping anyways!

Elastomers SUCK! :)

Hi there ,
Do whaddya reckon ? Spring one side , elastomer the other ?
 
Could do, or combo of both in both legs - more spring than elastomer though! Elastomers suck at giving linear and generous travel per unit length/volume so your fork will work better with springs, no doubt.
