Kel blew out the shock on her new bike. Very disapointing to say the least. She was planning to race at Neshaminy tomorrow, her second race and the first on the new bike.

Does anyone out there have a shock we can borrow for the race. Size:6.5 eye to eye 1.5 stroke. I will happily do all wrenching and traveling needed to do the swap. Thanks!

Thanks for the offer!

The bike is rolling again. Special thanks: Dan Mercer, Jesse Kelly, and GUYS BICYCLES who backed me up once again in a pinch. Great bike shop!

Tom I have a shock from the late 90's you can borrow. It has 1" of travel and it's made of plastic. Now the plastic is a little old so it is hard as rock candy but you will still get that cool feeling of riding on an ice garden in winter. The bolts are stripped so you may need to install it with zip ties but WTF? right? Good luck we're all counting on you!
