We finally had a nice day with no rain and I put my rebuilt shocks to the test. I took a ride on some pretty harsh terrain and they held up very well. Going over some large rocks and roots, I was sure they would deflate, but they never did. I know they only have about 60mm of travel, but I felt a huge difference. If they continue to perform, I can hold off on buying a modern fork. Saves me the v-brake conversion as well.
