Sorry for bad english

Actual plans - yes, I want replace fork and rearshock too.
I think Rockshox Pike will be good option, but I must wait for some money :)
Harder part is find good 7.25"x1.75" rearshock. Any ideas?
Thank You :)

Holy crap, it's Jesus and his GT! I always thought you would have a Orange for some reason.
Best option for your shock is to get yours tuned.

Rockmonkey, how do You mean tuned? Thanks.
I am heavy rider, isnt better get Rockshox RT3 or something like that?

One new photo.

The Rockshox Monarch RCT3 isn't that good, I used to have one. Send your Fox shock to a suspension tuning specialist like TF Tuned in the UK and the can turn it it to a very good shock.

Lovely looking bike.
That thing will ride a lot better with a shorter stem.

Question is... what will be better for me? RS Pike on 140mm or new Fox 36 2016 140mm?
And I dont know if will be shorter stem good for me, bike is not so long.

rockmonkeysc

The Fox 36 is better if it's the FIT4 version, otherwise get the Pike.

Fox 36 Float 160 (lowered to 140mm) 2017 FIT4
