What shock is that? Sorry but I've only just started riding again 2 years ago after taking a long break due to a bad injury.

Promised my GF I'd stick to xc this time around... lol Big Grin

yeah lol, my Apoc only had the 8 risse upfront, and i rarely ever used both shocks, as much as i loved the twin shock setup it just felt a bit unbalanced, it rode much better in the single shock setup ala armageddon.

Yeah, they were 8" Risse Champs with the Big daddy 50mm upgraded knurled uppers and crowns, heavy as f*ck but they were an awesome set of forks when they worked...
always wanted some Avys for that bike, hell i would love a set for my current ride, but just cant afford them at the moment.
