Rockshox Monarch RC3 Plus - Specializsed Stumpjumper Evo?!

KeithRann

Hi guys

I am looking to buy a Rockshox Monarch RC3 Plus for my Specialized Stumpjumper Evo 2012, SRAM list a model of their RC3 for fitment to my bike with a special mount but I can't find where to order anywhere? My bike requires a 197 x 51mm. Has anyone else retro fitted one of these shocks to their bike?

as it is a 2015 version you might find it not as easy finding one.

They seem to list them for the Camber but not the Stumpjumper.

Oh, so these are 2015 models so not available quite yet?

If anyone knows how I can get hold of one, I have researched and the guys in the USA all have them?

I don't mind waiting a short while but I need one soon.

If everyone in the US has one, can't you get one from there?

Not a bad call but prefer to buy from a UK stockist.

Try TF Tuned, if it's available they probably have one. Or get a Cane Creek DB Inline for about the same price.

Thinking about a monarch rc3 plus for my stumpjumper fsr in the future too. Plenty of German sites selling the correct shock length and they say it will fit a stumpjumper. But no mention of the clevis mount for the shaft. Just a generic picture too.

If you could post on hear how you get on that would be great.

I have seen this one:

What do you mean about the clevis mount, how do you know whether you need this or not?

KeithRann

I would have thought if the shock advertised was for the Stumpjumper Evo it should be a straight fit?!

That's a link to a website, not a shock

About to buy from the German site but do not know whether it includes the clevis mount, I have emailed them but no response! Argghh

rockmonkeysc

What language did you email? The person who responds to customer enquiries may not speak English.

KeithRann

I've had a response, it includes the Clevit mount... just need the bushing... which I assume is already in the old damper?
