Hi,
I understand Rick Oliver supplies Nitron shocks, and I'm thinking about buying one for my NC35. Does anyone have experience of them? Not being a track rider, I would imagine a "Sport" one would suit me fine, so bearing that in mind -
1. Are they good?
2. How is the quality?
3. How long do they take to deliver?
Thanks!

I've just fitted one to my NC30 and i've gotta say i love it, good quality, took about 2 weeks to get mine from graeme france (due to Nitron not having some parts in). Just to add i've got the non remote reservoir version and for road riding I think thats fine.

Hey,
Thanks for the quick reply - do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it please? The one I'm looking at is £335 from Rick Oliver I think.
Thanks!

Hi there,
I bought the sport version from Rick O last year. Took a couple of weeks to deliver, but bearing in mind that it has to be set for your weight etc... before you get it. Rick is spot on and will give you any advice that you need

. As to the shock, it totally transformed my nc30, but i upgraded the front end with one of ricks fork kits at the same time though. The quality is superb.
Cheers,
Terry
