What Wilbers shock did you go for the one with damping adjustment or none? Ones £100 cheaper which may sway mequality wrote:Just had my nc30 done via MCT, highly recommended. Upgraded forks and new Wilbers rear shock as the original was beyond repair/rebuild. Set up for my weight, use etc and although not cheap, not bad either. Worth it? Hell yes!! The difference is amazing. Bike handles better than most new bikes and is bespoke to me, can't ask for more.
I just stripped the forks and shock out and posted them to MCT via Parcel monkey, cost less than a tenner, told them my details and riding etc then got them back fully done with set up sheet too and telephone advice if required for any other fine tuning.
Combined compression and rebound damping plus the usual preload. Entry level shock from wilbers but great quality. I have also used a Nitron Track shock with separate damping controls and that was brilliant but a bit more cash. Once set up right though any of the aftermarket shocks make a huge difference.
