Hi,
Actually, most of the folks I've run into who tried rebuilt lever shocks
have reported short life. This comment isn't at all directed at Apple
Hydraulics; I think it's a more general situation. At least for TR rear
shocks, my experience has been that the lifetime and performance of new
ones seems to greatly outweigh the (smallish) added cost...
