i got my brand new 2000 rock shocks pro deluxe in the mail yesterday and it has a 7mm(0.25") aluminum ring at the bottem of the shaft, under the bumper. this changes my 2.75" stroke shock in to a 2.5" stroke shock. why is it there?
funny thing on my shock.

Why ask why, choose Bud Dry.
Perhaps it's in case you feel the extra .25" is a bit too much.

so that you send it back before you ride on it.
if your riding a rocks shox that has like 2.5 inches of travel why is this in the dh forum?

Stroke my friend, not travel. Why are you on the downhill forum if you can't piece that together?

has eny one ever seen eny thing like this befor on a rear shock? my giant DH team now only gets a max of 7.5" of travel (it should be 8.25").

What year Giant DH frame is it on?atb said:
No clue why that ring is there...maybe to solidify the lower spring collar. You can't take it off either unless you send it in.
Wow, I would hate to tell you guys my "downhill bike" has a 2 inch stroke shock.
point?
Anyway...toss that rs shock. There are plenty of better shock options out there for your ride.

i broke my stock 2002 pro deluxe and was able to get a brand new 2000 modle for only $100 canadian.
and you're goin to break that one if you ride it. our shop had every single one we sold come back blown, many in under two weeks. and we sold like fifty.
and how is 2000 new? its 5 years old man. Time to invest in a new rear shock. may a suggest a romic or a swinger?

I saw one snap the shock shaft and shoot it out of the spring. The shock shaft is not somewhere off the side of A-line. Kinda funny when your buddy can pull the bottom plate off his shock on the side of the trail and the bottom plate is a full circle...
I wouldn't go that far.mack said:Here is some advice... Throw the shock away and buy a romic.
Replace the word 'Romic' with something else.

Did you order a 2.5 or a 2.75 from RS?
if this shock was put together in 2000, the first thing you must do is have it serviced. the nitrogen pressure will be pretty much gone and the oil will be contaminated just from sitting there (yes this does happen). Chances are that its gonna die really quick if you dont get someone to get to work on it
it's a 9x2.75" shock with a little ring on it the changes the stroke to 2.5". it makes the shock bottem out sooner.bomberboy1234 said:
