Can anyone ideentify this shock absorber /

Post by Sibbo »

There is no brand or markings .It's on my ST ...I have no idea how to use the air input or what pressure to use and when to use it .Any advice welcome ! That said the ride is quite satisfactory right now .

I have a Wilbers on my R80 and it doesn't look much like that, although mine does not have a remote reservoir.

Yes, my Fox looked exactly like FUTURE's, which looks very different than your shock to me, especially the external reservoir.
