I am currenty using a Rockshox Monarch 2.1 air shock, i use it on my 6" all mountain bike for some DH and some XC, it's recently making a squishy noise and isnt quite as smooth any thoughts?

I may replace it with a coil shock if that will be more robust but not sure what to go for, all advice welcome
Cheers :)

    If you've had it a while it probably just needs a service/seals replacing, all shocks will need this at some point.

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:

    Check how many hours of use between sevices to see if you have gone past that, if not then it is probably warranty time, talk to your retailer,
