Thanks for the follow up!. I hope it does stay in one piece and not get parted out. It’s definfitely a cool piece of creative cycling history!
Manitou Radium Air Pro Mountain Bike Bicycle Rear Shock 6″X1.25″
I installed this shock today. The bushings that came with it were too wide. I first took the metal bushings off my Rockshox Coupe Delux SL (with rebound adjustment) but found they were a bit too wide. I then tried the hard plastic bushings off the Rockshox Delux and the fit was easy to install.
Airing up the shock was a bit tricky as I kept losing air when I disconnected the pump, (possibly operator error as I’m new to this stuff, but I’ve not had that issue with my Risse Racing Genesis.)I rode around my parking lot a bit and noticed an O-ring on the shock shaft. No air was leaking, so I took a picture and sent it to the Ebay Seller. Maybe this is a convenience instead of using a zip tie to check the Sag?
The shock is 6” so the bike does sit a bit higher.
I have a super bad case of allergies right now and won’t be able to ride for at least another week or so. I’m not done with the upgrades on my new HG yet either. Will make some more progress this weekend but doubt I’ll get everything done.
I’ll write up more when I get a chance to take it on a trail or 2.
Thanks Jeff,
Yes that is exactly the post I have now. The adjustment knob on the top of mine is very difficult to turn and the nose wants to rise as I tighten the bolt underneath. PIA!!Thanks for the size! I went to my LBS and ordered a post in black.
Are the specs the same on the Carbon Vs. Factory frame for that shock?

You bet I will! I might wait until I have some mods done. Have most of the parts already to go.
This was a birthday present to my 61 y.o. self!No, I have not gotten the Risse shock yet. Have read on Forums that they are slow and notoriouslu uncommunicative which seems to be the case here..
I recieved one email 2 weeks ago that said they were running behind schedule but should have it done next week..
I emailed again yesterday but have not heard back.I have been doing more road bike training for the “Tour de Manure” next weekend in Sierraville or I would be really unhappy
