My cannibal is one affected by the shock recall on the arvin shocks. Since the arvins are on 6 to 8 week backorder, my dealer said that cannondale would let me upgrade to the shocks on the speed (Ohlins) for 300 bucks. Would this be worth it? I don't race at all, so I don't need total adjustability, and have heard good things about the Ohlins.

 

Well, for $300 or wait 6 to 8 weeks to ride the bull again, I'd opt for the 300 bucks even if I didn't need the extra adjustability!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

My question would be which Ohlins? The ones on the Speed are not THAT adjustable.

If your already spending $300 you may as well step up to WORKS, PEP, AXIS or ELKA's and get the them set up for your riding style and weight.

That's true.

 

the olins will be rebuildable and IMO makes them worth the money down the road.

 

I agree with smitty spend the extra money now you won't regret it. The Ohlins are nice, but those others are better.
