Wait! I'm the guy who thought that the brackets with the Spax shocks were
a rip-off at about $100 for the pair...the 40 dollar mark came in somewhere
else, I'm still trying to find it in my mail archive.
It seems to me that if we can find out the parameters of the shock (length,
travel, rates, etc) we could all go down to the local auto parts store and
get a nice set of monroes or konis for less than the spax, and the rear
brackets are simple as pie to make (or have made) and were rolling...(I
miss Gabriel Striders!)
Now I wonder though about conversions at all. I'd like to hear more from
those who have tried tube shocks and switched back to levers, and why.
Trying to get the most info possible (I DON'T want to repeat the 'great
silicone brake fluid disaster of Pleasant Hill' again!)
