Finally got around to fitting my new shiny Nitron Track shock with remote preload adjuster



Remote Preload Adjuster



Not had a chance to get out on her yet for a test but hopefully will this weekend

Looks lovely! Always wondered how aftermarket compares to stock....do let us know

Definitely looks the part

be good to hear how it affects the handling overall, compared to stock...

Nice!

That depends on the stock shock. The 748 has pretty nice suspension from the factory, and the rear shock on the Blackbird is also decent (although it lacks adjustment and wears out too fast). The stock shock on my old Divvie was a bit of a poor show though!

The remote preload is the one thing I'd really consider an aftermarket shock for, personally speaking. Would be handy for the Blackbird once I load up the panniers. Not cheap though :(

Looks a bit tasty though - you'd best got out and give it a spin!

Ok bit of an update

Finally managed to have a quick blast on her at the weekend

I have to say I honestly can't believe how I've managed to get on without it

Now it could just be down to my old one being slightly tired, or just poorly adjusted, but my word there is renewed confidence from the rear

So your back end isn't so loose and flappy now? Good - that'll help reduce the skidmarks.

Lovely trick bit of kit
