Questions & Answers

Is it necessary to purchase the rear shock bushing tool in order to install this?

The bushing tool was not used by me. To drive the bushing out, I simply used a piece of hardwood that I cut to size and hammered into the gap. It worked great and was the perfect size for pushing the bushing out the other end. You'll need something that won't damage the aluminum body but is strong enough to push the bushing out. To install the new bushing, I used a no-bounce plastic mallet. There hasn't been a problem in a year.

2021 Giant Stance 2 (27
5/5

) is a perfect fit for you. So, just to clear up a few of the erroneous reviews I've seen on this site.
1. The 2021 Giant Stance 2 is COMPLETELY compatible with this Rockshox RL.
2. It is important to note that the Giant Stance is not a TRUNNION MOUNT.
3. For the top of the shock, HARDWARE IS REQUIRED. It measures 6 inches by 22 inches. Hardware number two. For the bottom, there is nothing.
4. This shock can be easily installed by simply removing the bottom bushing. br>br>Hardware that can be found here: The Suntour Raidion on the Stance doesn't have a lockout, so this is a great replacement. br>And if you don't know the true specifications, don't try to appear intelligent by writing false reviews. br>I'm in love with this. Overall, I give it five stars.

My 2010 Stumpjumper has a fantastic rear shock conversion
5/5

This shock is superior to the Fox/brain system that came standard on my 2010 Stumpjumper. After purchasing a yoke, I needed to attach the air canister to the yoke and then turn it 90 degrees. The 7. The 25" eye-to-eye dim was a perfect fit.

On an EPIC, this is a great direct substitute for a dead brain shock
5/5

This shock actually makes my Specialized EPIC a better bike. Regardless of how much tuning and tweeking I did, the brain is garbage, and it has never performed as well as I would like. This shock was replaced by bushings from an old Cannondale scalpel that I had lying around. Unless you can find the correct size bushings or have a shop machine a bushing set for you, it is not a direct replacement.

Stance of the Giant in the Year 2020 1
5/5

A RockShox Monarch R was installed on my 2020 Giant Stance 1. For the lockout, I went with the RL. br>The bushings from the top were reused. br>In order for the bolt to fit, I had to remove the bushing from the RL's bottom. This bushing was not installed on the R.

Great replacement for the Stumpy from 2010
5/5

When combined with Masherz's Bike Yoke SJ101, this is a great replacement for the original rear shock on a 26" 2010 Stumpy.

There is a good flow here
5/5

Excellent security. Quick upgrade to my stock shock, which was on its way out. I've got a hold of a rock shock now. On the side walk, it's the most comfortable ride.

The lockout feature was not available
3/5

Shock works well for the price, but it does not have the lockout that was advertised.
