Ok so I took the shock in to a local shop that does rebuilds and the guy there said that because it says Specialized he can’t touch it. He said he could do normal Fox shocks all day but the Specialized ones are proprietary and only Fox can service them. He said all he could do is send it back to Fox which he said I could just as easily do myself. He did tell me that he would cut me a deal on a new shock if I decided to go that route instead.
I don’t really want to be without my bike for several weeks while Fox rebuilds it.
My questions:
Does that sound right?
What kind of shock should I try to replace it with? (It is a Fox Triad II 7.825×2.0)
What kind of good deal should I look for?
