Risse Astro 5 rear shock - NOW £70 or swap

[lawson]

Came on a bike that I split and I now have no use for it.
It's in great condition, has just had an oil change and a replacement of various seals.
It's 175mm eye to eye
I'm after £100 for it given it's rarity over here and it's cost when new.
Cheers Mike

Hi what frame did this come off of?

 

[lawson]

Hey, It came off a Klein Mantra and then I ran it for a short while to test on my Trek Y.

I ran it with different oil types to test, but it is currently filled with 10 weight oil.

This thing is so tuneable that as long as the eye to eye is correct, then it can be tuned eaily with a switch of oil viscosity. I might add is the easiest shock to service and oil change ever!!!!

Cheers Mike

I was hoping to be able to combine this shock with the existing one I hve for an amp, but this has a specific frame mount. Now I know that this may be difficult to assess, but do you know if it is possible to remove the aluminium section from the shock shaft (looks like it has the air adapter fitted to it), as if it is, I could refit my equivalent part and make a good shock out of it?

I've no experience in servicing/taking these shocks apart, but if this is possible, I reckon I would happily take it and give it a go.

Cheers
