Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, but a quick forum search didn't reveal much. I've got a TA600 which I use mainly for trail riding and the standard shock wore out - damping gone. I've been trying to find a decent secondhand one but of the 2 or 3 I've tried most have little to no...

Got a very nice dommie and I love it but occasionally I'll pull off the road and do a few green lanes and the worry of dropping her is always with me . Yes I could remove the plastic etc but keep thinking about getting something else that's similar but a bit more crash resistant . Don't want...
