Hello All<br>
<br>
Do you reckon these will fit an 1850? Are those other bits in the picture the spring seats?<br>

Bugger, I was going to bid on these as Little White Dolly front end is a bit tired in the springy department. No worries, I won't bid against you Chris<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Cheers Ken. My 1850 has just about the worst shocks I have ever seen. Real touch and go in the corners. I'll let you all know how I get on with the bid.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Excellent! I won the Shocks. I think £36 is a fair price. That's better than the £176 that Rimmer Brothers sell them for.<br>

Never seen them in blue before. Do Rimmers sell these ones or just the yellow adjustable ones?<br>
<br>
After a few months the yellow ones end up being unadjustable monotube shocks anyway so these ones look like they will do the job just as well and alot cheaper.<br>

Yeah.... Just looking for some rear ones now. I had no idea they weren't adjustable though. Does it matter if the ones at the back are the adjustable ones or not?<br>
<br>
Just as well they can't be adjusted. My brother pointed out that that I spent two years with the shocks on my mountain bike adjusted so loose that they probably were just dead weight.<br>

Won't make a difference really. If you find they are a bit wallowy, you could always go for a slightly stiffer spring. I would imagine spax make them slightly stiffer than oem anyway.<br>
