Anyone know if they are orig or copies and experiences of using this shock
Taffspeed rear shocks sold by WSP
I used a Taffspeed rear shock in late 90's but the ones WSP have for sale on eBay look different.

These are the seconed generation of shocks that Taffspeeed developed with Rod Avon who's previous company Avo Uk - was his first company that now trades in Northampton & made the original steel shock units.bogs wrote:I used a Taffspeed rear shock in late 90's but the ones WSP have for sale on eBay look different.

Today the alloy units are made by Protech Shocks. There phone number is 01225 705553 they do 2 different lengths 300mm & 310mm you can pay via credit card.
WSP have no write too call them Taffspeed shocks, but that's another issue!
Buy direct & get a good warranty cover which I believe is now 3 years from date of purchase!
Hope this helps you decide,
Ian thanks for the background info .
Sounds a bit out of order by WSP. I will bear this in mind when choosing which dealers to use
