ive been looking through some old posts on shocks.

was interested in the build your own shocks route. i know chris gibbs has done this and has it his website which is good but it doesnt tell me how well they work.

has anyone tried building their own from mini shocks, jag shocks or pug 205 shocks??

do they feel like a sponge pudding to ride or does that just depend on the rating of the springs, which can be changed cheaply.

cheers for any help.

Not been far enough in mine to tell really, all I can tell you is that they keep the chassis off the floor!

I see them as a temporary measure, until funds allow something better.

Cheers
