Years ago I use to ride pretty heavy. I rode a 1997 Cannondale F700 and I still have it. I recently got back in to biking and I still have been using this bike but it is getting worn out.
A few years back I picked up a 2000 Cannondale Super V 800 barely used and I got a great deal on it. I never road it and it just sat in my garage. I want to start riding this bike but I have a few issues with it.
I don't exactly like the back shock on it. It is an old Fox Vanilla with only a presag adjustment. It bobs a little but not to bad. My main issue with this bike is the Super Fatty D headshock. Something is not right about it. It is not nearly as plush as my headshock on my F700 and when it is locked out I can feel movement like the whole thing is loose. Also the boot seems to be stretched out.
I plan on bringing into a shop to get it checked out and possibly replace the back shock. I feel it is worth putting a few bucks into since I did get it for so cheap and it has pretty good components on it.
How much should I expect to spend if the headshock just needs some maintenance and also if I have to replace it? Also what should I expect to pay for a descent back shock?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
