DNM shock... Your thoughts

paulc

Seen this it looks ok and made by a company with Motorsport background.

What do you think

Can you get spares for servicing it?
It's very cheap, I doubt its going to be as good as anything by Fox or Rockshox

"Front Forks, Shock Absorber Manufacturer
Carrying on 2008 experience, we are mainly focus on Snowmobile & ATV market in Russia area, Bicycle field in Brazil. Look ahead into the future, other than the products we have developed so far, we will also be developing other suspension related products. We hope that with our outstanding products (such as front forks, shock absorber..)and its excellent quality, we will continue to lead this market in the future."

Continue to lead?

But cheap enough - I suppose you need to see them as disposable as no obvious place to buy seals etc.

Less than a tenner.

Already got one but its useless... Need something much better that's 190 i2i and 50 stroke but doesn't seem to be much out there... Till I saw the dnm, should offer better damping and lockout will end my days of bouncing up the hills

Can spend upto 150 for the right one

poah

boucing up the hills is poor low speed damping. my coil shock doesn't bob much on climbs

If you've got up to £150, look for a 2nd hand Fox unit in my opinion.

Australian owned but actually in Korea

RP32 and RBL... Decent enough?

poah

good luck finding a fox in good condition for 150 - might want to consider a Manitou radium expert lock out from CRC or my pushed van RC that will be up for sale soon lol

TheNorthernTrain

Probably be just as good as this...

fine if you want the low/low damping setting - what bike is it going on?

Carrera Titan

poah

I'd probably just go for the radion expert on the CRC site - rebound damping adjustment, good compression damping and a lock out. should save a bit of weight too with it. it takes 12.5mm hardware so if the OE shock is 12.5 then it will be a straight swap.

paulc

As long as its going to do a good job that's all I'm after... Doesn't need to fantastic as I'm just your typical family man with kids who likes going llandegla and when not there I ride local bridle ways, I've never going to become a downhill nut who needs the best... I still get nervous at some sections on the red route so much so I think I might of held some people up

"In Stock" helps :P

cooldad

It was earlier, so maybe the op bought one.
Still have the high volume BV in stock.

paulc

No not bought one yet... Money going all over the place at the moment and holiday next week so once I'm back... Should of made up my mind by then
