Well this was an interesting find yesterday... my dedicated mudder 250es big red just sags in the front now. Acts like it does not shock at all, and both springs broke or something. I never seen one go out before, the shocks are not pitted, the only thing I can think of is the dust covers have been junk for about 1/2 a year, and maybe water go in there and froze / broke stuff up. I never noticed any oil on the ground, and it seemed like a week ago they functioned fine for the tiny bit of riding I did with it.

I have a spare set I'll be swapping over, just not 100% sure what I want to do with the bad ones. I suspect they are rebuildable, or atleast have some useful parts left.


Has anyone else seen anything like this before?
