Wanted: Retainer Washer for Rockshox Deluxe Coil Shock (2000)


Hans's picture

By Hans - Posted on 07 November 2008

My son Benji lost the retainer washer/disc that holds the coil on his ~ 2000 vintage Rockshox Deluxe coil shock (Spesh FSR "Ground Control").

The image below is of a similar shock - it is the round silver disc/washer that holds/retains the coil (near the red lever). It is a round "washer" approx 40mm dia with a slot for inserting. Please check your spares box as I am keen to get him back on the trail. Pay premium $$ Eye-wink

Alternatively, if you have a spare shock for sale with 160 mm eye-to-eye length and approx 20 mm stroke please PM or call me.

Coil or Air is fine, as long as it fits Eye-wink. Thank you in advance.

Rgds, Hans

Hans,
From my archeological dig of bike parts, I have a circa 2000 FSR frame and coil shock.
Give me a call to set up a time to come round and look at it.

Thanks to the Whisperer....

How is that for a generous and rapid response from this excellent website and friendly network of MTB'ers?

Within 2 hrs of my original post Whisperer (Steven) contacted me and offered me the exact missing "vintage" part for my son's broken rear shock! And threw in a matching frame and rear triangle as well...Eye-wink. Great to find out that he even lives in the neighbourhood...with an excellent selection of precision-tuned boutique bikes and very helpful advice.

Benji is now a happy camper! He's already installed the new shock (using his original 650 lb coil) and is back to riding his home-made Northshore ramps in the backyard...

Benji Vintage Rock Shox Fix!

Thanks a lot Steven! No wonder they call you the "Bike Whisperer"! Eye-wink Good luck at the fling!

Rgds, Hans (+ Benji)
