Hello today i am in the search of advice again.
Since the last thread i made about upgrading my bike i have learnt quite a lot from other very helpful members here. So thank you for that.
Today i ask more questions.
1. Will a Fox Float R 165MM 2010 Shock fit my current frame?
My existing shock is a 165mm eye to eye. But will i need to buy seperate bushings or something? or can i use the existing ones? This is the item in question: http://www.bikeradar.com/forum/viewtopi ... highlight=
2. Im looking for some new rims. To replace my existing ones because they are now rusty and bent. SO without breaking the bank can someone recommend me a decent set or even sell me one if you have them for sale.
SPec i need is this: 26" 6 bolt to attach my disc brakes and thats about all i know about wheels.
So please help
Here is my old thread for reference. there you will find spec and pics of my bike.

what is your current bike/shock etc...
you need the same i2i as well as overall length. most shock makers do not use the same standards so a new fitting kit may be needed.
for get rims look at wheels. as you will need as well as the rims new spokes and an unbuild and a rebuild."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
