I thought you can't rebuild standard shocks.

Woops,. too late. I dropped the original 'Yellow Shock' off at ABE in Greenwich this morning, £100 and collect in 5/7 days. I had to do it. My replacement 'Blue Shock' dumped it's oil last week and every mile since then has felt more and more like being at Alton Towers. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford a decent replacement so I'm just haivng to 'Make Do'.
Next on the list are Rear Disk (wafer thin), Front Disks (Warped more than the Enterpirse Engines), .. oh,. and then the clutch.
Oh Happy Days lol

True, .. but I've had 2 'Previously Enjoyed' shocks that have dumped their oil so far, ... so I decided the 'ReBuild' option was worth a try. At least I get a sort of guarantee with it.
Now after reading the 'Disk' thread,... I might be able to save some cash if my front disks are not actually warped. I'll rip them off and check out the fittings.

The guys at All Bike are pretty good, and whilst it's not the <ahem> greatest shock in the world for a ton it's good value for decent quality work if your temporarily fiscally challanged or not looking for high performance from the shock.
