Lapierre Rear Shocks

endamurtagh · 2011-07-25 18:22:18

Bought a lapierre technic 700 Fs last week. while i taking it for a quick spin around the road the rear shock gave way. Now its been sorted through the warrenty, so no issues there. Im just curious is this common or have i been hit with some bad luck.

Shocks giving up for no reason? No, not common at all, esp.if your just buzzin around the roads...

Only possibility i can think of is the air pressure in the shock was too little causing bottoming out/excessive wear on the shock...
