Pushed - ? FYI - same internals as the Romic! Thats what the "pushed" coil shocks are. Why would someone trade a Romic for a "pushed" Fox?

Same shock different name.

I say false. what do y'all think?

False, people don't engage brains all the time before talking- or in this case typing.

The guy who does the PUSH treatment to shocks replaces every internal piece with moto grade parts, metal where there's plastic, tighter tolerances, new valving in many cases, and adds a stable platform style shimming to the shock, if my understanding of his services is accurate. Romic's are a good shock and a good idea, but different in execution, and maybe in overall design as well. Has Romic solved their exploding problem yet?

Excellent explanation. Whoever said that does not know what they are talking about. For one, the romic uses a 'twin-tube' style design, with no external resivoir, while a pushed RC (unless it didn't have one in the first place, ie a Vanilla R) has an external resevoir. False

Yep, totally agree.

very false. Romic = no reservoir. Fox RC = reservoir. Looks to be a big difference.

Look at the differences here and here.

Under the PUSH website, select the services tab. Third picture from the top. Compare the internals seen on the 3rd picture to that of the Romic. Very different!

In-flipping-possible

The romic is a twin tube design, the resevior is the 2nd tube that is concentrically located outside of the 1st tube, and there is this reactor valve thingie there as well.

The push is a more MX-inspired two state-piston setup.

Besides, the oil and parts in the fox generally like to stay inside of the shock, rather than the external bath of the romic.

The new DHX is supposed to be quite a leap ahead of any mainstream shocks we've seen yet. I have to wait the WHOLE FRIGGIN weekend for mine

pretty much all shocks have reseviors(and nitro charges), even little vanilla Rs and such, it's just that they don't have external reseviors. If they didn't have one, they'd blow up pretty fast from the heat and expansion.

Darren left Romic and started Push, so I can see where Gimper got that idea.

He simply does not possess the mad eBike skills the rest of us have. :evil:

I wonder how that timing coincides with the "bad batches" of romics ??

The main difference between Romic and classic shimstack shocks (Ava, Fox, El Jefe etc) is the large diameter reactorvalve on the top of the cylinder.

All shocks got reservoirs to compensate volumechanges when the shaft moves in to the cylinder.
