I have a 2002 Marin Rift Zone with a fox float R rear shock which has started to "squeek" a bit. Actually, it hasn't just started, it started over a year and a half ago so I put it to one side and rode my hard tail again which was great but that's another story...
Anyway, I've given it the basic service but the squeek seems to come from inside the main unit. I've been given a quote of £75 to have it serviced but wonder whether to replace it with a more up to date shock. I have heard that more recent shocks can help reduce the amount of bobbing when pedalling. The bike is a single pivot design.
Can anybody recommend a good shock for this bike, or should I stick with what I've already got.
Thanks,
G.
