rear shock settings

[HOLTON, BILL D. (JSC-EP) (LM)]

Hey Guys, I know there have been a lot of discussion on Rear shocks. I have read most of the archives. I am considering buying the Year 2000 rear shock that dual-star.com has for $150.00 to replace the one on my A3. I don't think I could do better to rebuild the old one. And I can't afford the Progressive right now. Should this new 2000 model shock keep me from bottoming out in bumps in the street? Are there any cheaper alternatives for me to fix this problem? Thanks Bill Holton Houston Area - A3 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

What pre-load and rebound settings do you guys around 225 lbs. use? I see in the manual that the stock setting is for 155 lb. rider. Thanks, David
