FOX Shock is back

The FOX Shock is back in the arm. No test ride yet, but everything appears great so far. in the static tests Big thanks to the team at Mountain Bike Suspension Centre for getting the shock back so quickly.

I’m still to replace the centre components of the arm. These new parts add the revised accessory mounting, fold-out hook/clip and revised internal lever. Replacing those parts will be a bit of work, essentially a complete teardown.

Louise and I took the bike out this weekend, lots of fun and a lot of miles clocked up. The Oxford pillion grip thing is getting a little easier to manage… not much though. I also added a rack/pillion rest to the Enfield… not something I wanted to do to the bike, but needed to feel safer with Louise on the back.
