Tec rear shocks

Any body use these shocks ?

I know they are not a set of ohlins but the twin shock scene on eBay etc seems a bit scarce and saw these might be good value for money .

Are those like the ones Ted has had on his shed for a while - he seems pleased with them. If so I know a few on here have bought them I don't know how many have tried them yet.

not meaning to cause a stir here but views are only of use if based on experience, Ted says he's happy based on trying them on his shed, what is z1b's experience here :?:

+1

You get what you pay for - fitted a set of Tec Shocks to my Mark 2 & they were C..P! - not enough damping / bounched like a pogo stick.
Bit the bullet & purchased a set of IKON shocks from Norman Hyde & they are superb.

not necessarily gary, isn't it more likely down to the individual :?: different people have different ideas of what a good set up is :?: different weights :oops: , riding style etc
