Double front shocks - goodwoodweirdo - 29-04-2025
Hello chaps,
I recent purchased a couple of double front shocks for my seven build,
The upper is supposed to be from pigsty (which I'm not sure looking at the welding)
The Lower Oxford 7's
My question would be, what if any would be the advantage of using one over the other when looking at the pivot and lever of each. Which would be more advantage for fast road / racing use ?
Many thanks in advance and I look forward to reading your comments..

The farther out from the centre the better they work to reduce roll. Terry

The shorter the shock absorber arms the better the damping will be, but it is still a matter of setting the right amount of friction.

Maybe one day I'll get to test them back to back :-)
thanks for the replies
