Hi guys,

How do I know when my rear shock needs rebuilding/refreshing (new oil and nitrogen)? I have changed the oil in my forks 3 times and am amazed every time by the difference it make! Surely at 58 000km the rear shock oil should be pretty nasty?

It feels like my rear end is a bit looser in the dirt than it used to be? Could it be the shock? I've still got plenty of tread left on my Metzeler Sahara 3 rear tyre...
