It's Not Easy Being Green
A couple of questions for you shock gurus out there.
I have a Fox DHX 5.0 coil 8.5 X 2.5 (216x63), where the spring (2.8 X 500) is rubbing on the body of the shock.
I understand that Fox may have had different internal diameter Springs for the DHX and the Vanilla shocks. I roughly measured the internal diameter of the spring and it's around 35mm. I only have the good old fashioned ruler, so that's about as precise as I can get. From what I can tell, this is about right for the DHX. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Question 2, the spring retainer seems to fit very loosely (picture below) and have a lot of play on the shaft. Is this normal? Are there different size retainers for different shocks?
Thanks Rotorburners...
