For Sale (PARTS) Ohlins TTX22M, 230 x 65, excellent condition

[NigelO]

I've had this shock on the rear of my Orange Surge e-MTB for the past four years (but only about 600 miles). It has been excellent and the envy of both of my sons, who eventually ditched their air shocks and went for coils, never to look back. Once it was correctly dialed in, it made the bike really predictable, even over high speed rock gardens and modest drops (I'm in my 60s, so I don't much like leaving the ground if I can help it...)

Its 230mm from eye to eye and 65mm stroke.

Comes with a 80N / 457lb spring and a full hardware kit.

Condition is very good - it has always been cleaned down properly after muddy or dusty rides. Just a couple of monor marks from normal use.

Still a £900+ shock new - grab yourself a bargain - looking for around £350. I'll do a deal if someone also wants the Fox 36s I'm also selling, but I warn you, I'm from Yorkshire, so I bargain hard....

Has this been serviced?

 

[NigelO]

No - not serviced. It was a recent addition to the bike when I bought it and its only done about 600 miles in my ownership. I reckon its probably only been wet three or four times...

For something that's "only been wet three or four times" the spring is remarkably rusty.

Physics, innit…

The end coil has worn through the spring’s powder coating - springs do that and it doesn’t need to be wet to cause it (in fact, wet would probably have slowed it down). Once the powder coating layer has gone, it only needs to get wet once to instigate corrosion.

Any other helpful observations?

Had a few Ohlins coils and the springs have all done that
