dirtydownunder Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 im getting some suspention and i dont wanna go over kill so which elkas would better suit me ( as adjustment goes) ill be running +2 +1 a-arms. i do more trail/woods riding than dunes and some jumps (nothing huge) the elkas im looking at are the pb36cr (Dual Rate Preload-Compression & Rebound Adjustable Piggyback Reservoir) i dont ride a whole lot, but when i do i ride for a while and the woops and rocky trails are killing me, banshee sus sucks big time. thanx.

SAVAGE420 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 You can get the rec's now and IF you want to have adjustments later on down the road, you can send them back to elka and get rezzys, piggy backs, comp, rebound, SSD, spring rate changes and valve changes and what ever you need Added when you feel like it. If needed. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 IMO Elka is overboard for the average playbike. What about some cheaper Works shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I do not agree with WORKS. My experience with works has been moderate at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydownunder Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) ive heard that works can give some trouble and arnt that good at there valving. Sending stuff to and from the US and OZ will b pricey so i was opting for a "once and for all " fix. i dont know any works dealers in oz but there are elka dealers so if i have any probs i can just send the shox to them. the elka rec shox with rezy's look like they should do the job. thanx.

peterlocal22 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 get the rec w ressies. if you ask me yo dont need the adjustables. dual rate are good enough. anything more than dual rate is overkill on a banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
