Anybody else order these? I just installed a set. They are distributed from Detroit Performance RC but are made by Innovative RC in the UK
They don't come with a tool to hold the shock body. This makes things very difficult. And very frustrating. A crescent wrench does the job clumsily and leaves tool marks everywhere. I ordered the tool from Innovative RC but as it is International your shipment times will probably be wildly unpredictable here in the States.
Also, they don't seem to use O-rings. It seems the bottom end of the shock is a one piece molded plastic section that is ribbed. They are also completely out of stock in the UK. See statement above.
The base of the shock shafts are massive, however compared the original. They seem to be a full 8mm
They also advertised these to have shock protectors. Well, good luck finding those. Because they don't exist.
I ordered a 24 MM cone wrench made by Park Tools from Amazon. They (Park) dominate the tool world for Bicycles, and will be a good purchase if you go that route.
