How much to spend on a rear shock

If you’re thinking of replacing your rear shock and are unsure of how much to spend, consider this…

Choose a specialist supplier/manufacturer who can give decent back-up and advice. You are going to be spending somewhere between £350 and £1000 so don’t give your cash to just anyone.
