As part of my winter overhaul (rack rebuilt by the amazing rick pembro - engine still with him) i'll be getting a full set of shock absorbers. Are lipmesa the way to go or are there other options worth considering? cheers Aidan |

I'd agree with that, but you missed the ECAS offer at ICCCR Harrogate. The set of four for £95. |

Lipmesa if you dont have inertia dampers, Boge if you do. Record in neither case. Mind the direction of fitting them. |

Taskos, you'll only find original Boge as 'new old stock' nowadays, as they were taken over by Sachs some time ago. I'd doubt whether the Sachs version has similar damping characteristics to those made by Boge. That leaves Allinquant/Lipmesa, which is fine with me...  ken Taskos wrote: Lipmesa if you dont have inertia dampers, Boge if you do. Record in neither case. Mind the direction of fitting them. |
