Hello so looks like my rear shock is a bit goosed. Am struggling to find a replacement that doesnt cost a fortune, does anyone have any suggestions? also am i stuck with using that size or can you use a slightly different sizing? assume you cant but would open up a few more options. I am coming from a rockshox plus rc3, a lock out would be good as my bike is pretty bouncy on the climbs.

Already have. Pretty expensive to be fair same shocks can be found cheaper. I have used them a lot before for hardware and tools, but for shocks quite expensive i think

Send your shock to TF to be serviced or get the tools and do it yourself, there's loads of YouTube how to.
Or Flea bay or the buy/sell on here are probably the best places to look for a used shock.
You cant really change the shock size on most bikes, you are best off getting the exact same as a replacement.

The shock developed the knock on compression that they all seem to suffer with. So did a 50nservice to see if that would help it didn't so did a 100 hour service and still knocking at the top of compression. Been riding it anyway but now the climb lever has stopped working and it's making some horrible noises.

Yeah I assumed I wouldn't be able to change the shock size but thought I'd double check. Would just have made finding a second hand one easier. I'll keep looking am sure one will come up at some point.
