Hi all, I'm in the market for a Push ElevenSix for my 2021 Stumpy EVO, as the FOX DPX2 which has been rebuilt once within warranty is now going squidgy again.

The Fox is a 210 / 55, with 0.6mm spacer - Do I need to match these measurements precisely with a Push shock?

Also if anybody has any knowledge of a 2nd-hand Push that would fit, I've looked everywhere & coming up with nothing.

Hey Pal,

So the measurements of your current shock will relate to any new one. 210mm is the distance between the two eyelets and 55mm is the total amount the should should compress. The 0.6mm spacer only relates to the air can on you fox and isn't relevant in a coil shock.

Push's are fine shocks, that different people have different amounts of success with but their main benefit is that they have two completely iferent compression circuits that can be tuned for different uses and the just flipped between with a switch. In my opininion unless you have very particualar preference for two completely different scenarios that must be able to be switched between instantly there are better options with more service support than Push.

Just having a quick look on PB buy and sell, filtering on 210mm e2e coil shocks there's lots of 2nd hand options available: https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/list/?region=5&sort=price-up&category=104&shockeyetoeye=10210&suspensiontype=2

I personally would have a look at a Cane Creek or my personal favorite EXT, pick one up used on the cheap and then take it to a local tuner or send to Sprung, J-Tech, or TF Tuned and have them service it and set it up for your size speed and bike. Same as I would reccomend for a 2nd hand push but much more cost effective.

Hope this helps and good luck on your hunt.
