I have a 2008 Enduro SL Comp with a Specialized AFR Shock that's pooped the bed. Is it worth getting that rebuilt or better off to replace? Any suggestions on a suitable replacement?

25 mm through axle. If you replace with anything but another Specialized fork you will also need a new hub/wheel unless the 25 can be adapted to other existing standards.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

I think he means the rear shock…

any 7.875x2.25" air shock should work…

James @ SuspensionWerx can also fix. Although some might argue that it isn't worth it..just buy a new rear shock. I put an RP23 on mine.

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.
