Yeti 575 shock replacement

[Tezza69r]

Im looking at probably replacing the rear shock as its blown. Was a pushed fox rp23. The rebound and propedal now do nothing and has oil all over it what is a good replacement for it? Budget is a bit tight.
Cheers

Unless you don't like that shock when it was known good, I'd say cheapest way out with known performance is to have the damper rebuilt e.g. NSD and do air seals yourself. Anything 2nd hand is a gamble, with near new bikes offering better odds that the shock isnt fcked.

Cane Creek based their new shock on the 575. :heh:

Funny man.

In all seriousness, just get it rebuilt and maybe a custom tune.

If you do want to get a different shock, make sure it's the same tune as your current shock or you'll have to get it tuned anyway. Don't bother with Cane Creek, they don't fit, I've confirmed with them. Don't get a coil shock.

Fox float, DHX air or Rockshox Monarch are your best bet.

Yeah i had read that the coils didn't fit them. I was thinking about a monarch 4.2 thats for sale on here, the fox did blow through its travel pretty easily. Didn't seem to have any marking of what tune it had compression wise. Monarch looks like it adjustable at least...
