Cheap shocks

[Britt Boyette]

This looks like one of those too good to be true deals. Has anyone heard anything about these shocks?

Too much of a good thing? I think NOT!

If you like shocks with no dampening.
Not sure if these are the exact same ones. but they look closely to what we have had on some of the cheap chinese dirt bikes..
And those were junk !

No dampening and horribly stiff springs.

be carefull

Hahahaha. Joke's on me! I thought you said "socks" and I was all hot and bothered to buy about ten pair On account of mine have done worn through). Then I looked at them and they looked like very uncomfortable socks (all those springs and stuff). But I said, "ok, well, it's just that they're a new style." But then I thought, "Gee, 80 bucks for metal socks with springs! No way! That's not cheap at all!" I didn't realize until now that they're "smocks".

All joking aside, I know who built these. His name is Xing Tao Ping and he's five years old! Wow, talk about precocious! And what a work-ethic! 20 hours a day and no complaints! No way is he in it for the money and glory! Such a humble life. Just one little handful of rice a day. He doesn't even want to wear shoes to work. Saves all his money to give to his mom. No wonder all our good jobs are going over seas. Next time my kid starts whining about SpongeBob this or Hannah Montana that, well, you know.....
