Re: another build thread (long term)
I don't know about dorsudoro suspension, I made mistake of riding one and lost all interest :P
Seeing what ohlins are like I am very surprised they would sell you parts for a £1000 shock for less. Normally parts are 3x price of whole shock.

Re: another build thread (long term)
only when you are a customer buying from ohlins we are a authorised service agent and custom shock builder so get every thing for the same price as ohlin's does, they also give us free stuff, we do have to qualify each year though and sell a certain number of units they make there mark up on the fact its like 10k a year to use there name and a % of our prophet

Re: another build thread (long term)
That is why I am not keen on ohlins. I don't have the money that they'll talk to me
Penske on other hand, you ring importer, they tell you what you want to know and then sell you parts at reasonable rate. None of this funny handshake b*llocks! I like the TTX principle though, just like a TL1000 rotary except it's got an ohlins badge on it so more people have tried and succeeded to get them to work properly You have shock dyno?
