I've got an 09 Stumpjumper with a blown rear shock (Fox/Specialized Triad). Just like many others, it lost its oil from the rebound/propedal switch. I've got the bike in the shop now and they are contacting Fox to have it rebuilt. My though is that this is the perfect time to upgrade. So here's what i've come up with in terms up upgrades
Fox Float PR23
Rockshox Monarch RT3
RockShox Monarch RT
RockShox Ario RL
The nice thing about the Traid was the Rebound/Compression(ProPedal)/Lockout, but since the shocks i've looking at don't have all 3 options i'll settle for what i can get. So has anyone upgraded their stumpjumper with good success? I stared reading off the shelf shocks can act funny at times depending on the linkage rates.
As for riding style, I'm on mostly XC single tracks with the occasional drop off of ~1.5' max. I'm only pushing 150lbs and tend to be smoother side of riding (aka not beating up on the bike). So who's got thoughts?
