Hello,

I wanted to ask if this was possible. I bought a 2000 Lefty Jekyll and it's got a Fox Float R. I wanted to see if I could upgrade this Shox to something newer? Like a Fox Float RL with PP or something more advanced than what I got? I am attaching pictures of what I got. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Those rear units are like hens teeth due to proprietary design.

You can maybe find some on eBay if you're patient.

Might consider talking with PUSH Industries, see if they can modernize it a bit for you with some platform valving etc. No way to add lockout that I know of.

Now, your bigger issue is that swing arm. That's the dreaded, bonded arm. They all broke, like toothpicks.

Not saying you can't go have a bit of fun with it, but know that it will most certainly break if you use it as intended for any length of time. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.....

As Mendon said, Push would be the way to go. Push's site actually says that due to lack of parts, they remove the lockout mechanism and convert the RL/RC shock to a Float R, so it would make more sense just to have that shock Pushed than to get an RL/RC. The Push tune would be more benefit in terms of ride ability unless you really want a lockout. They can make the Float R perform like a newer RPx series.

Hello to everyone. i am the new guy in town. i have a 2001 Cannondale if I don't mistake the year, I had it stored for many years ,and of course my son will come and use it.

Try a seal rebuild kit just some O rings

That? Or if it's truly dead, Risse Racing may be able to do deeper work, if not, they also sell a shock that fits the trunnion mount.

I spent UNTOLD hours searching this.

That's the only off the shelf. Option 2, make it yourself with 3d metal printing or CNC $$$$$$

Also, from my understanding if you replace the frame bearings that helps reduce wear on the shock.

Found this, I forget the dimensions of the rear shock.

I recently bought a 2004 from the original owner who thought the shock was totally blown (wouldn't hold air). I did the air can service and replaced the valve core and it's like new. Obviously not the best compared to today's options but the bike will get many more years of use.
