Remove the shox and send them to Peter C. of THIS list!  He will rebuild them 
to BETTER than new condition and the cost is remarkably reasonable.  There is 
no reason to do a tube shock conversion unless you need more stiffness or 
adjustability for the track.  Road cars work best with lever shox, and Peter 
is THE authority on lever shox in the USA.

Send Peter an e-mail at nosimport@mailbag.com
