Technoflex

Anyone used their shocks or fork springs? Searched the forum and found a whole five posts matching the name. I figure that's not necessarily very encouraging?

A Dutch company I believe with a good reputation for off-road/ATV stuff. Didn't realise they made springs and shocks for run of the mill road bikes...
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

I had a technoflex rear shock on my rvf race bike, that bike had the lap record at mallory and i came 3rd in the championship after missing 2 rounds, epic handling bike so guess it was a good shock

This company started end of '80 and "still exists" and is now called TFX suspension technology, Technoflex went bankrupt in 2010 and restarted as TFX. They're located in Weert, the Netherlands. They still offer various suspension options (front/rear) and loads of other parts for bikes, quads etc. I do not have experience with their products. But pricewise it is maybe an alternative option to Hyperpro, Wilbers, Nitron etc.

I was just curious because someone on eBay was selling a what seemed an equivalent to the all-signing version of the Nitron race shock plus a set of linear fork springs for someone around my weight, all brand new, and they went for about £350. Seems like it was rather a bargain, but sadly I was tempted with a new lid and didn't want to ruin the cashflow completely as it's insurance month too... :-(

I got a shock just like the one on ebay that needs a rebuild, cost me £20. Looks like a quality bit of kit
