Its nice that the 05 DHX Air aftermarket kit for the Enduro was unaffected by the bad batch of seals.

Mine is still going strong (as is punkassean's I think, but he just switched to his coil setup)

Sorry to hear Tim! I've been reading so many similar DHX-a stories on MTBR - heck this guy here just got his back from Fox and it went tits up. http://forums.mtbr.com/showpost.php?p=1811780&postcount=9

i know, i have a pal who had to send his back twice as well. i knew it when i bought the bike but it was such a killer deal i coudn't pass it up. Hopefully things work out when i get it back, i've had great luck with Fox Shox and the only negative thing i've heard about Fox was the failure of this particular shock.

Hey, I'm a'coming back. And closer this time. But with less time on my hands.

Buy a chainsaw before I come riding up there again.

An update on my shock situation...

Firstly kudos to my LBS Center Cycle in Renton, Dave and Lupe are top notch bikey folk.

Initially it was thought that my shock was to be sent in to Fox. After a call Fox confessed that many shocks have been hastily built and that the fix could be done in house if there's a mechanic there worth his salt. So after waiting about five days for a seal kit for the DHX (which turned out to be just like any other Fox seal kit) they tore it apart and sure enough it was a manufacturer foul up. Somebody neglected to put in an additional plastic washer which keep the ring from slipping off the piston.

So i have my bike back and i'm very happy. i'll get to punish the shock tomorrow and Sunday and i'm confident now that i had one of the best mechs in the PNW work on it, i'll be dialed.
