Protech Group Buy...

DDtB · Post by **DDtB** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 8:49 pm

There's a bit of a group buy forming over on seloc at the moment... just in case anyone is looking for new shocks in the near-ish future...

Apparently if they get 20 sets, the price comes out at £446.50 plus p&p for full set of springs and dampers (inc VAT)

Simon A and Stu P are both running them at the moment.....

Cheers,

Dave.

If I was about to buy new shocks I'd be waiting until the new Nitron reds come out and see what the feedback on them is.

Plus the guy that was organising the Protech group buy has just changed his mind

Who said I wanted new ones?

I think the protech ones are good but I've nothing to compare them to. The Nitrons will probably be better but they cost more (£600 apparently) and the existing Nitrons are probably even better but they're £1k+ so it's not like you can really compare them on price terms.

No idea if they're doing a version for the 111R btw, worth asking Geary on seloc though.

Edit: just posted asking on the thread on seloc.

Whatever the configuration of the reds is, it should be a bigger adjustable knurled wheel, and it does not look as if it is.

Reading glasses required for me

That photo is the prototype apparently so the production ones might be different.
