Been doing a lot of research on the rear shock lately. There is a good bit of information out there,,, mostly between the Race Teck website,, and the HK/Wilbers video's and the sites related to each of those. I currently have 3 rear units,,, 2 in the bikes,, and a purchased spare. The 2 working units in the bikes have 220k and 80k kilometers on them. I run both them with the pre-loader full on, all the time. Surprisingly,,, the unit with 220k km's on it rides the best. While the 80k unit is firmer to the point of providing too harsh a ride at times. btw,,, I am not one to dial the pre-loader up and down to suit the ride of the day. So with my backup unit,, we are about to throw a 22kg spring on it (stock is 17kg),,, and I am going to sub it into service in place of the 80km shock on ThunderSTruck. I would love to put a Wilbers in there,,, but just can't justify the cost ($2000.cdn) vs. performance. It will be interesting to see the results. Should have it done,,, along with rebuilt forks by end of May,,, cheers,,, CAt'
