I am looking for some info and Guidance. I have a trek 830 Hardtail and the old RST front shock is shot! I need a new shock for the front. Does anyone have an Idea as to where to find one other than a piece of junk off E-bay or something like that? I love this bike for what I do and Still don't want to upgrade yet.

If this is so, where can I purchase these parts? My LBS says this can't be done. I appreciate your input. Thanks, Fred -

in the illustration the pink parts press into the headet, the brown parts attach to the steerer and the fork's crown, and the bearing races separate them so the thing can move freely.
