FixShox: what is it all about? A patented and completely made in Italy project. Here it is explained directly by the owner:
Image with green lines: here there would be the perfect theoretical condition and only possible with the bike stationary, new, with new bushings, ball bearings, perfect weld alignment. That is, a condition that is only theoretically possible where everything flows perfectly aligned.
Image with red lines: Condition during use. Forces in all directions arrive from the rear and push the shock absorber to work absolutely out of alignment. The normal DU bushes oblige the shock absorber to work bound by the fastening system to the frame and carriage. This affects material stress on the shock absorber heads and above all misaligned main piston. going to overload all the internal seals and more. until oil is lost or air enters the system.
Photo 3: With both FixShox bushings it is obtained that, even if the rear axle works off axis with respect to the frame, it allows the entire shock absorber to remain aligned on itself. Working free, light and not overloading the seals and eyelet heads.
IMPORTANT: they are installed without modifying any part of the shock absorber. A true plug-and-play.
For now we are not unbalanced in verdicts, this is the one communicated by the manufacturer. Let's see if the project will take root and if an in-depth analysis will show the usefulness of this component.
