Need some help from the inmates - while navigating the tornado of last minute offroad trip prep for next week's excursion, I realized that the rear shock on my daughters CRF70 is basically blown out with zero dampining. It collapses to the bump stop with a simple push on the seat, so i'm thinking it is done and I dont think they are rebuildable.
Every replacement shock out there seems to be geared towards 250lb adults mobbing pit bikes over jumps, i've ridden a few 50's and 70's setup with various aftermarket shocks and they all basically feel like an over-sprung pogo stick, and would have zero sag or travel with my 9 year old on it.
She was complaining about the suspension on our last desert trip, end of last season and I thought it was just the front forks that needed to be resealed and rebuilt, which I took care of easily. But the rear shock is a problem, no idea what I can get and were I can source it from before we leave Sunday.
Shock specs seem to be 260-280 mm or also listed as 10.25" eyelet - eyelet
Any suggestions?
