(just want to pick some brains)--- rear shock?

[t.luisetto]

Hey all I have a SSR 125, recently got it back from the mechanics and he said that the shock thats on there is too big...


And thats the reason that my chain is rubbing on my swing arm...

The shock that i have is a fastace, just wanna know what are good shocks to replace my current one and what aprx size the shock should be...?


Cheers guys!!

rubbing on the top of the swing arm?
Think thats normal.

Not sure why they are designed with the swing arm on such a downward angle (anyone?) but if you get a shorter shock you will get less travel.

what is the length of the shock u have now?

 

[t.luisetto]

not sure, but the mech said it was too big.

and i mean that the chain is eating into the actual metal of teh swingarm not the chain slide...

yer both of my bikes are eating into the metal of the swingarm ,ones a 140 single arm swingarm and the others a 110 A frame swinger , so it will probly always happen just buy a bunch of those rubber things so it wears them down not the metal or make something up out of thick plastic.

nah don't thinks thats it, my mates provert the chain doesnt rub on the swing arm at all, and i have a shock that is bigger than the 280mm one that it was supposed to come with..!!

The silly chinese guy bought the wrong ones!!

so if anyone has a 280mm fastace rear shock they wanna sell, PM me asap!
