Hey guys :D I'm new so be gentile with me :oops: I'm just finished building my 2008 teocali elite. brought the frame 2nd hand, although it'd never been riden :D Anyway when I brought it think the guy had changed thr rear shock to a suntour epicon? and I've noticed that all the info I can find on the 2008 bike looks like it should have a fox float shock. I'm pretty brutal when comes to bikes usually through stupidity, so this time I wanna get things right. I'm about 13.5 stone, ride my bike daily to work which involves parks which have jumps and long downhill sections, tarmac, and on the weekend I just give it everything I got where ever I can, and I'm planning on entering a few races in 2009. Can anyone recomend a decent rear shock as I fear you'll all be laughing at the suntour :?:

    What type of races are you considering on this bike?

    I guess the racing will have to be xc coz although the frame is very good, I don't think it's got the geomertry for dh, ie 66 degree headtube won't realliy allow triple clamps. However I'd like a rear shock thats tunable so I can still fool around :P
