Hagon Shock Question
Howdy,
Been out today playing with this ere Hagon shock I picked up off fleabay. My question is, should it sound "squishy" when I bounce up and down on the bike? Don't really know how else to describe the sound. It seems to working OK - as far as I can tell anyway, but dunno if the noise it's making is normal or not. Help me .org, you're my only hope.  Ooooh, first knee down of the season too today  , gotta love these sunny days.

Re: Hagon Shock Question
Could be just taking a while to get all the gas out of the oil.

Re: Hagon Shock Question
I've had hagons on a couple of old bikes and found them very helpfull, give em a bell or e mail and i'm sure they'll sort you out.
They do front springs too which does make a difference if you push on a bit on normal ie crap surface b roads. |

Re: Hagon Shock Question
My mountain bike shock sounded the same after it was tossed about in the post . Sounds like oil being squished past a seal or something , shock was fine after a week or so of use . I`m pretty sure it`s ok man .
