Rear Shock questions

brett1980

Hi,
I have a Fusion Shox o2-R rear shock on my marin alpine trail. When the bike is ridden there is a squelching sound comingfrom the shock. Is this a leak or is this the norm.
Also if I was to consider upgrading the shock what would be your preference? I will try to go with something which is light and has a lock out facility.

Lol. But to answer, it is normal, it's the damping oil circulating.

If you can get one in the correct size, a Fox air shock would be an upgrade, but if the one you have now works ok, I'd stick with it. He aint heavy.
