Magic prices?
Thanks to Philip for the link to Merlin Cycles from the UK. They have some insane prices which are more than magic. To buy a shock equivalent to the Recon SL sitting on the bike would cost 1200kr. By the time I get all of the tools and parts to service the one I have, I would easily spend 1200kr.
The problem as always is that they have other better things. The Rockshox Reba RLT is 3600kr and 300g lighter than Recon. And for Sid RLT at 4200kr the weight saved is an incredible 600g! And finally for the Sid XX World Cup at 6700kr we are talking 700g of savings.
I was really not planning on spending this kind of money right now. I am trying to save for a downpayment on a newer car. This is a tough choice. Crap.
