Re: Stock rear shock life

["Ian Pollen" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had two shocks die at 15,000 miles each. The damping had gone off big
time.
The first blew the oil seal and the second just stopped damping.

Both were replaced under warranty. The third is holding up well with 10,000
miles at present. When they work I find the performance fine for my needs.
