Risse Racing shocks - any experience

[grahame]

I need to get a new rear shock for my Breezer Twister (the current coilover unit doesn't have a high enough spring rate to cope with my lardy arse), and the only ones that I can find listed anywhere for this bike are the custom built units by Risse: http://www.risseracing.com/breezer.shtml

Has anybody here dealt with Risse? What are they like? Etc.

You might want to search for an Alps 4R or 5R. Those should be cheaper and they are adjustable.
What length is your current shock? 145 or even 165? If its 165, I would buy newer fox rp23 or similar as seen here:

I have done that with my Klein Mantra, that has the same "sweet spot"-rear. It is performing so much better.

I've had a Risse Racing shock in the past, and it performed faultlessly.
