from Huntsville, AL USA Date Reviewed: September 23, 2004 Strengths: NONE, unless bloody loud counts. It served it's purpose for about a year and has since made me hate it... if that could only be a strength. Weaknesses: DNM is JUNK!!! This shock started to squeel within a year (just as other reviewers have noted). You have to lube the eye's constantly. Otherwise each rev of the pedals produces a horrid sound. Makes riding a pain (other riders stare when this puppy screeches) if you don't carry a can o lube around with you to re lube. I find a total cleaning of the rear bushing (the problem bushing in my case) gives me about 40 miles of screech free riding (about 3 days). A lubing gives me about 10 miles... This thing sucks.

from Hebron, Ct Date Reviewed: March 13, 2002 Strengths: good bump absorption Weaknesses: LOUD CREEKING- needs some sort of oiling, like mineral oil or even WD40 will work tough to adjust preload, unless you are incredible hulk, or taking it off the bike, adjusting it, and then putting it back onthe bike, only to find you have gone too far, and is incredibly stiff, like a hard tail. Geuss what? u have to do it all over again until you get it right!
