I'm looking into buying new bouncy bits for my FSR, the rear shocks blown and i want more travel on the front
so.... obviously i'm gunna be tight (not much spare $$) and was lookin into 2nd hand stuff
i got a feeling its a bit dodgy, people only sell stuff when they wanna get rid of it, and they usually get rid of it for a good reason
what are some pointers with 2nd hand bits? i have a feeling i'd wanna deflate/remove springs and feel the dampening, it'd be very nice to see/feel the shocks in action on a bike, but sometimes thats too hard for the seller
more specifically, i have interest in:
Fox Alps 5r
and
Bombshell Wicked Wendy
what should i look out for and what should i avoid with making purchases like these?
thanks lads
