« on: October 21, 2010, 08:30:31 am »
Hi, i have a brand new set of Ohlin TTX shocks for 1981 Maico. Completely adjustable rebound and compression externally. The adjustment of the rebound doesnt affect Compression. I will spring to suit your weight. These are custom built . This is only the 2nd set in existence.Please email me for pictures. $1750.00 
Thank you
Bill

I got quoted $1950 AUD from Steve Cramer Imports 8 yrs ago. It still sounds expensive .......to me!
And I am pretty sure they didn't have external R&C adjustment.

They are very trick top of the line shocks. I've never even seen a pair of TTX twinshocks.

Leith they're not TTX shocks, they are the old style.
TTX have hi/lo comp and rebound adjusters side by side on the reservoir and they have separate oil passages for rebound and compression so adjusting one doesn't affect the other..

why do they let you use these in vmx racing and not forks from later models

because shocks are classed as consumables, like grips, tyres, handlebars etc ::)
