Shane Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 As everyone knows there is a serious flaw in the stock rear shock. They have a bad sealhead design. If yours goes bad stop riding on it right away! The rear can be rebuilt pretty reasonably (we do it for $59.) but the more you ride on a blown shock the more things go bad inside. I hope this saves someone a little money. If anyone has a question about suspension i'm always glad to help. Advice is always free.

SANDSTAR Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) As everyone knows there is a serious flaw in the stock rear shock. 376557[/snapback] Really? I never knew. I thought the rear shock on a stock banshee was ok enough for a stock bike. I've had several banshees and never had problems with their stock rear shock. All of my riding buddies (15+ banshees) never reported any "flaw". Abuse failure maybe, but not any flaws. Aftermarket shocks are much better, but as to a "serious flaw", I would have to call bullshit on you.

rebelbanshee2 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 never heard of that serious flaw..must be a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 where are you located? WHat does the shock rebuild include? 376885[/snapback] We are out of Indiana. The rebuild includes a new sealhead, oil and nitrogen. Generally that is all that is needed unless it has been riden on quite a bit after it has blown.

The rear shock could be better described as not able to hold up to more advanced riding styles. None the less, there is a reason why used Banshee shocks bring $120. on Ebay and others don't.

What are the exact improvments to be expected from your rebuild?? And what is your turnaround time?? Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 no offense, but I'd rather spend the extra coin and get it revalved/sprung for my weight and riding style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squish Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) right jack that would cost you extra. One piece of bubble gum would be 25 cents and two would be 50 cents. He is telling you the basic is $59. I think they charge $300 for zero preload dual springs and all that jazz Edited June 7, 2005 by squish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right comparison would be that your at a bubblegum blowing contest and you can either buy a piece of wrigley's for 50cents or a thing of bubbletape for 1.50 It all depends if you wanna sit there cracking your gum or blow some decent bubbles......
