Hi,
My ALPS 4 is leaking quite a bit now and I’m looking for a modern replacement. Per a previous post, the spec on the rear shock is:
Eye-to-eye: 5.5″ (140mm?)
Piston travel/stroke: 1.25″ (32mm)
What would be the harm in trying a 6″ shock with a 1.25 stroke?
Risse Racing appears to have something. http://risseracing.com/airshocks.shtml I have an email into them.
It doesn’t look like Cane Creek has anything.

The other attempt is to find a shock old enough that fits and yet has a rebuild kit. Any ideas welcome.
Hey –
i’m looking to replace my rear shock too, and i have the same specs as you. my Cane Creek AD-4 is leaking, and I’m having a hard time finding shocks with 5.5 eye2eye. Did you replace your ALPS4? What kind of shock had our specs?
I second the cane creek cloud nine. It makes you feel like you have a completely new bike.
If you call CC, they can custom build you one based on the frame. For the HG full suspensions, it is a 5.5 eye to eye and I believe a 1.25 inch stroke for about 3-3.5 inches of travel. Adjustability on the Cloud Nine is great. If you want more or less travel they could probably build it to your spec.
