So the rear shock can be ordered from Fox? I am interested in ordering one. Can you tell me the process?

Jeff,
I’m sorry I can’t be of more help, but it was ordered for me by John Castellano when he looked over my frame before I built it. He still has a resale agreement with Fox, so he just offered to help me out. Apparently, it’s a fairly standard Fox DPS piece, so any bike shop should be able to order it for you.

If you like Flitz, you’ll love Peek Metal polish. The foam mousse works in half the time as other metal polish. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Peek-Multi-Purpose-All-Metal-Polish-Mousse-150-…

Cool, I am a fan of faster/easier. I’ll check out the Eagle One chuckha62 posted too.

Not that I can see, it’s just a “DPS” as far as I can tell.

MemberHey Jeff, Just for giggles, I went to Pro Bike Supply’s website and did a search for Fox DPS with a 5.5″ eye to eye and it looks like they offer five different shocks starting at $255. I think I paid right at that for mine and it works really well.
Cheers!
Chuck
